Is this a phase for a 4 year old?

For about the last month, Blaire has been getting up about the same time every night and coming into our room and getting in bed with us.  Usually I just take her right back in her room, but I have let her stay a time or two.  But, it is becoming a nightly problem. 

Any suggestions?  How long did it last?

    My DS turned 4 in October and has recently begun waking in the night too.  He'll come into our room and we just take him straight back to his room and he's almost always fine.  Sometimes he has to pee (he's not night trained yet), sometimes he has a dream and sometimes he just wants his nightlight back on (I shut it off when I go to bed).  I was thinking that maybe this was the start of nighttime pee training, but not sure.

    Yes, older DS does this as well.  I just send him on back if he's fine.  He usually is.  Once he asked if he slept so long that the sun went away again.  Uh....No.

    But sometimes I'll tuck him back in if he's confused or had a disturbing dream.

    He'll even wake up around 5:30 sometimes to hang out in the morning hours and depending on how weak I am, I'll let him or send him back again.
