I've been replaced by Yoda;)

It wasn't too long ago that I was the "hero" in my young son's eyes.  From taking out a splinter to making the best cookies, I could do no wrong;)  Fast forward 7 years to today.  It's a beautiful lazy Saturday, and all I want to do is sleep in.  But, alas, my youngest comes padding down the hallway to wake me from my slumber.  In the past, this lil fella would tumble into bed with me and snuggle.  But not today.  Today he wants me to get up and make pancakes.  Not even so much as a hug or a kiss or a quick cuddle!  I give in and trudge into the kitchen, only to catch the tail end of an imaginary conversation my lil guy is having with his plastic walkie talkie.  I ask him who he's talking to and he says:  " the coolest one in the galaxy Mom...YODA!"...which wouldn't be so bad, except he ended it with a "duh" and left the room.  This lil guy went from adoring me, to anything monster truck, to wanting to be a nascar driver.  But the force is strong with this one.  We have a new kind of Jedi in the house, and as it  turns out, I've been replaced by Yoda.  Let the Star Wars Phase begin.


Wow!  He's crafty like his Mom!
