Again, this is just to track that progress that we a making in sleeping through the night without waking up mom!
The last few nights, neither one sleeps all night. They want me to come into their bed now and cuddle with them. They wake up so wet that I have to change their pull-ups and jammies and sheets at night. They wake up between 2-5am. Saturday night they were both awake at the same time between 2-3am. Just wanted to cuddle and be awake.
Last night, Chase woke up just enough to be awake and for me to sit beside him for him to go back to sleep. Cody also woke up but he actually made himself go back to sleep and then he rolled off the bed and fell asleep on the floor the rest of the night!
I still think this is better for them to sleep in there own beds and wake me up then them in our bed.

Yes, yes it is better for them to learn to sleep in their own beds. :)
I don't know if this would help you or not, but a friend of mine who had a similar problem made a little sleeping chart for her kids. For every night that they didn't come to wake her up she gave them a sticker, and then at the end of the week if they had a certain number of stickers they'd get some sort of prize.
Another friend used the green, yellow, red card system. She made a little pocket on their door with 3 construction paper cards of each color. They would start the night with the green card, if they woke up it would go to yellow, and then red. Basically the idea was that they could wake her up once (green), twice (yellow, warning), and the third time was red meaning they could only get out of bed if it was an emergency.
You may have already heard/read those suggestions before but thought I'd share in case it might help! :)
