It's nice to see all this

It's nice to see all this discussion about a topic that's been stressing me for weeks. My nearly 4 y/o twin boys are still not nighttime potty trained. One has been trying with his "big boy underpants" for a couple of weeks but has only made it about 3 times. We too have restricted drinks before bed and wake him around 12:30. I feel badly for him, b/c he's trying sooo hard. He's motivated by his star chart and every nite says he's going to do it but wakes sometime between 2 and 5 a.m. crying. A part of me wonders if it isn't better to go back to the pullups and try again in a couple of months. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Will it make him more upset, or give him a chance to build his confidence again?

My other one has absolutely no interest in trying and is happy to stay in a full pullup all night long. That's frustrating too, but I think he actually knows he's not ready so he doesn't want to try. I'm ok with that.
