Sasha tries this with me too. When she first did this about 5 yrs ago I figured that she had to go out and potty, it became a habit for her getting up at 3 am and going out. I decided that enough is enough she goes out before bedtime and should not have to get up in the middle of the night. She has always slept in bed with me/us. I just closed the door holding her in the room and listened to her cry, whine, bark, finally after a few nights she got the message and will rarely asks to go out in the night now. If she does want out in the night I will think back to what she may have eaten during the day and decide then whether she really needs to go or justs wants to go..... patti
