Hess Family: Just the Begining

Just the Begining

I had probably one of the saddest mommy moments I have ever had yesterday! Madi had two of her little friends over to play, and the two girlies were playing just fine and I noticed that mad was looking so sad! I couldn't figure it out because the girls were not being mean to madi they were simply just playing together and you could tell there was a bond there between them and that Madi was the outsider. I pulled Mad aside and asked her if she was ok. And she looked at me with the biggest saddest eyes and told me that she was just feeling kind of sad because it seemed like her one friend was breaking up with her and that they seemed like they were best friends now and that Madi wasn't anymore. She was trying so hard to not cry. I couldn't help but just hug her and cry with her and as soon as I started crying she just started bawling and telling me how sad she was and how she couldn't figure out why the one girlie wasn't her best friend anymore. It broke my heart! I felt so bad for her. but it was such a good opportunity to talk with her about being friends with everyone and how lucky she is because she ALWAYS has a different friend calling to play with her everyday, not just one friend. We talked about how important it is for her to make sure she never leaves anyone out because she knows how it feels and how even though I am a 28 year old mama there is DRAMA going on like that still all around us crazy moms! I HATE the drama! As Matt and I talked about this I couldn't help but think oh my heck what do I have in store!!! This one little incident BROKE my heart and I can not imagine the feelings I will have when she comes home with her first heart break or her first major life disappointment! I think that I fall more and more in love with this girly every single day.

So sad for sweet Madi. I remember feeling that the first time, and I would never want her to feel that. Ugh. Poor thing.; February 23, 2010 at 7:38 PM

Erin Stones said...: We had a similar experience with Liberty the other day. She came home from pre-school so sad- which is totally unlike her. She told me that she wasn't ready to talk about it when I asked her. That night we could hear her crying in her room. When I went in to talk to her she told me that she didn't understand why none of the girls wanted to sit by her in preschool. She didn't understand because she is always so nice to them, but they just didn't want to sit by her. Tyler wanted to sit by her but she said that it isn't the same as sitting by one of the girls. She was so sad thinking that they didn't want to be friends with her anymore- being pregnant and a mom- of course I cried with her as well. It was so hard to know how to comfort her. That night she even had nightmares all night about the girls not wanting to be her friend anymore. She was really hurt by this and I am sure that the other girls didn't even realize that Liberty felt left out. We are both in trouble with our little emotional girls- prepare for years worth of tears! No wonder your mom always cried- hehe!; March 3, 2010 at 11:40 AM

A little music history!

My Best Friend: Well this is just our song. We love it, we danced to it at our wedding and whenever I hear it I think of our wedding day and all of our wonderful memories that we share together.

Fidelity: I just love this song for some reason. My mom and sister just laugh at me while I sing it. because I just belt it out. It's fun!

Mr. Brightside: Matt and I are huge Killers fans. Love them!!! When Madi was a baby we would dance with her in our kitchen almost every morning to this song. She would stand there and just bounce and giggle and dance along with us. We would also have my niece and nephew over and have huge dance parties. The neighbors probablly thought we were crazy but it was so much fun!!

New Kids on The Block: Ok what girl my age didn't like The New Kids on The Block!! Oh Joey was so hot!! They were the first concert that I ever went to, and Matthew just informed me the other day that they were getting back together! Go NKOTB!

Jame Taylor: I love this song. Whenever I hear it I just laugh my head off. On our honeymoon Matt and I were sitting on the Kareokee floor of our ship and everyone was singing and watching. I begged Matt to sing me a song. Of all of the love and romantic songs out there he chose this one. Everyone was laughing and singing along. The crowd loved him!!! But not as much as me.

Moldy Peaches: Have you seen Juno? Ok I'll admit some parts are kind of naughty (to say the least) But what a hilarious show. There was all sorts of funky music in that show but Matt and I had this song stuck in our head for days after seeing the movie.

Let it Be Me: This was our first song that we danced to as husband and wife. This was also my mom and dad's first dance on their wedding day. So I love it. My brother Mike tried to sing it for us, we was doing great and then in the middle of the verse he yelled out everybody now!! We laughed and still do laugh about it. What an excellent memory!

Ghetto Superstar: Well have you ever seen the movie Superstar? My brother-in-law once told me that I was such a geek like the girl on Superstar so for like three years after that I would claim that I was a superstar. Kind of weird but then for some reason Matt and I just liked this song.

See you again: We had to put a song on here for Miss Madi. She loves Hannah Montanna she loves to sing to it and dance to it, and we just love to watch her!
