Maybe a stupid question, but I need an answer

So up until this last week my son has slept on his back, but now that he is rolling over (back and forth) he is choosing to sleep on his tummy. Everytime I put him down, I put him on his back but he always rolls over in his sleep now.

Should I just let him sleep?

Yes, as soon as they can do it on their own, it's fine.

I'd let him sleep and check on him. You could try rolling him back once or twice to see if he'll stay. I've read that if they're able to roll in and out of the position it should be ok..

Yep! I've always been told that you can't stop them once they know how to roll. They will sleep in the position they find most comfortable. (That being said, my DS has been a tummy sleeper since week 3.)

DD has started to sleep on her side most of the night. I'm just waiting for the moment that I look on the monitor screen and she's rolled all the way onto her tummy...

Not stupid at all, we are faced with the same thing right now. 

She starts on her back, rolls to her side, and then I find her on her stomach.  But she's got her face turned.  We have the angelcare monitor and I check her like a million times a night! 

I have been told if they are smart enough to do this, they know enough to turn their head to the side, and she does that.

It's a never ending battle at my house right now.  He turns to his stomach, I flip him back.

 

Rinse and repeat all night. 

 

I think he is going to win this first battle of wills.
