clear your mind of questions

If it looked like it was going to become a long-term problem then "why has he started waking up at twenty past four in the morning?" would definitely be worth addressing. As it was only the second morning, "what will stop him screeching like that?" was deemed more immediately pertinent. I'd probably definitely decided to take him out by five when nothing downstairs seemed to settle him but it took me another hour to get things organised. Five minutes out of the door he was asleep, then calm and happy when he awoke in time to point at the birds and waves along the shore.
