Adonis is 6 years old, and I just got Venus last August. Adonis has always slept with me. Venus started sleeping with us about October or so.

This past week, when its bedtime, Adonis won't come get in bed like he always has. He goes under the bed, and waits till both me and Venus are asleep to get in bed.

I don't know if its cause when he comes to bed, Venus wants to play, instead of give goodnight kisses or what. I know Adonis and I had a routine for years. And that last few minutes before I turned the lights out was qualilty time for goodnight kisses.

This started going on about a week ago, him going under the bed, instead of on the bed. I'll get him to come out, and try to put him on the bed with us, and he'll hop back off as soon as Venus starts her playing, and go right back under the bed!

Is this a phase or what? I feel he has his feelings hurt, or thinks he's no longer #1.

After both Venus and I fall asleep, I know he sneaks quietly on the bed, and finds his old spot by my feet. I've caught him doing that a few times.

Venus will try to hog all my attention, if she can. I do as much as I can to show both of them I do have 2 hands, and can love both of them at the same time.

Any ideas or thoughts on this? I'm sure open for ideas to correct this and get my #1 furchild back in the bed instead of under it at night. I miss him being with me when I fall asleep.
