"I can't fall asleep!"

Alice has perhaps been spoiled in going to bed for naps or nighttime because her Daddy frequently not only reads to her and tells her a story, but also rubs her until she falls asleep. To be fair, I often "do the sinking into the mattress technique" until she's asleep. During this trip, we have often been too tired to give her the full bedtime routine and so I, at least, will leave her in bed still awake. She will then cry and whine that she can't go to sleep. Sometimes, however, she will actually go to sleep (for a nap) for at least an hour, either in a bed (like at Aunt Eva's) or in the car (like today), wake up, and then start crying piteously that "I couldn't fall asleep!"
