For awhile now we have had a problem on getting Emma to sleep in her bed through the night. She would start off in her bed and then wake up between 10 and 11 and make her way to our room. It is a bad habit and one that we need to fix. If you try to move her back in the night or keep her door closed, she yells and screams. We don't want to risk waking Abby so we just let her get away with sleeping in our bed. My sister-in-law mentioned the Good Nite Lite and we thought we would try it out. Every night the light shines blue and Emma has to stay in the room while it is blue. When the light turns yellow she is allowed to get up and come to our room. We have gradually moved the time back every night and provided her with a sticker chart. Once she filled the chart she got a reward of her choice. She filled her first chart and chose to go bowling. We all had a blast at bowling and we are hoping to continue to make progress with Emma.

We have a clock for Mya that tells her when she can wake up. She was coming into our room at all hours of the night and just standing there, for like an HOUR! Made me nuts! Good luck. Sounds like you have a good plan!
good job emma! we got the good nite lite for annie when she was almost three and it REALLY seemed to help a ton. she started to finally sleep through the night. (well, it was either that or giving up her nap, which happened around the same time, haha.) we even take it with us when we travel now! i think it is about time to get one for miss meg, crazy baby.
