Lexi is getting up between 4:30 and 5:30 -- usually more towards
5:30 to pee. I can't allow him to sleep on the bed, as he has already
wet my bed, and my daughter's, and that was with a human actually
awake and paying attention to him both times.

And how did you know this is what happened, versus not realizing that
holding it was the right thing to do? That's where I'm at with Lexi -- if
it were only a matter of him not always making it outside, it would be
one thing. But he shows no indication whatsoever that he knows I
prefer the outside to the inside.
