2 milestones

stover boy has recently been going through a mommy's boy phase (milestone #1) and it is especially apparent at bedtime.  he screams and cries for mom to 'puta me a bed'.  historically, stover girl has always been known to be a mommy's girl at bedtime.  this scenario makes for a 7 pm mini-crisis.  despite the kids' preferences, mom refuses to shoulder the burden of bedtime alone; and as a result, stover girl has had to become more adept to dad's bedtime methods.  (keep in mind that stover dad is a superstar... the kids have just been blinded to his nurturing night-time qualities by his ultra-fun disneyland approach to playfulness.)  stover girl has done so well and proudly asked mom: "do you know why i don't cry when daddy puts me to bed anymore?"  mom said "you have done good. why?"  "because now i love daddy as much as i love you!" (milestone #2)
