Friday: unexpected consequence

Last night, around 11:30, Isaac started to get restless.  Ben went in to calm him down, but it didn't really stick.  At 12:30, after we were asleep, Isaac started talking..."Pee!  Pee!"  Ben and I consulted each other...do we get up and let him go?  Would he go to go back to sleep?  Do we just let him go in his diaper?  With some hesitation, I got up.  Isaac went to the bathroom, although he wasn't happy about anything.  (The lights weren't on.  There were no toys.  It came to tears.)  But he settled right back down to sleep afterwards.

I'm not ready for him to understand his bathroom needs at night.  Can't it only be an awake thing?
