Is there a 2 year sleep regression or something?

DS has been a fabulous sleeper since he was about 6 months old (let's not talk about before that). We moved him to his toddler bed about 2 weeks ago, and it went swimmingly. When he wakes up, he waits in bed for us until we go in there, and he stays in bed after we put him down at night. It's kind of weird how good he is about it -- BUT I AM NOT COMPLAINING, I AM JUST OBSERVING THAT IT'S CRAZY!
So anyway, two nights ago we had a horrible night. He woke up at about a quarter to 1:00 crying. I always give him a few minutes to work it out but this time he would not settle down. So I went in and sat with him for a minute until he calmed down, and then left. Well, he started crying again, but I was not about to play the in and out game all night, so I stayed put in my room. Well for an hour, on and off, he would cry for a minute, then stop, then cry, then stop. Literally an hour. Finally I was like, I can't sleep like this, I may as well go back in there. So I hauled my 8 month pregnant butt in there and climbed into this little toddler bed and was like, OK buddy, let's go to sleep. Well of course now he's awake and he's poking my face and playing with the blankets and not going to sleep. So we were up until 4:00 and then I ducked out and went back to bed. So last night he slept much better, but then he woke up for the day at 4:50! I am not sure what happened to my fall asleep 2 minutes after going to bed, and sleeping til 6:30 baby. I know it's only two nights, but I'm wondering if I should be mentally preparing myself for this to be lasting for awhile.
Normally I would wonder if it was the toddler bed, but would it really take 2 weeks for him to start having a problem with it? Also, he never once got out of the bed either night, it was just a matter of him either crying during the night (random) or waking up at the crack of dawn (also random).

I guess it was payback since he STTN at 6 weeks.
