Putting Charlie to bed on the Vineyard took a little while longer than usual. The first night he did not want to go to sleep and he sat up while I pretended to go to sleep on the bed next to the crib but still watching him. He was so determined not to fall asleep until he was sure I was asleep that he sat in the crib for 20 minutes and every time he would almost fall asleep and fall over he would wake back up and try to prop himself up. Very cute even though I wanted to go downstairs and have dinner. After that he started asking me to lay on the bed so I would for a few minutes until he was ready to doze off. But he would keep watch and tell me “Close eyes mommy.”
