It's Going to Be Okay

Every night before bed I sing to Johnathan...someday in the future I will do this for Eli too, but right now that little guy conks out while nursing so the singing will come later, when he needs other forms of comfort besides his milkies. Anyways, back to Johnathan...

We had gotten into quite a routine with our singing at bedtime. The same 4 songs, You are My Sunshine, Jesus Loves Me, Gideon's Lullaby & Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star in the same order every night. Snuggling after. Then sleep for my sweet boy. Until one night those four songs didn't seem to be enough, and some unknown worry caused Johnathan to cry out for me after I thought he had long been asleep. So, I came up with another song that is now in the number 5 spot on our nightly singing list...it's simple and it just lets Johnathan know that everything is going to be alright and that lots of people love him. It's Going to Be Okay. It goes a little something like this:

It's going to be okay, It's Going to be okay
It's going to be okay, It's Going to be okay
Mommy loves you, Daddy loves you too
Jesus loves you, Eli loves you, BoBo loves you too

It's going to be okay, It's Going to be okay
It's going to be okay, It's Going to be okay
Aunt Jenna loves you, Uncle Robert loves you too
Arden loves you, Kenny loves you, John and Mear-Bear too

It's going to be okay, It's Going to be okay
It's going to be okay, It's Going to be okay
Nana loves you, Papi loves you too
Tio Tia love you, Ava, Aunt Karen love you, Great-grandma Celia & Evelyn too

It's going to be okay, It's Going to be okay
It's going to be okay, It's Going to be okay
Grammy loves you, Grandpa loves you too
Princess loves you, Aunt Glo loves, Geenz and Brosky too

It's going to be okay, It's Going to be okay
It's going to be okay, It's Going to be okay
Auntie Fay loves you, Uncle Gaffin loves you too
Baby "Cold" loves you, Grandma Pepa love you, Mema & Papa too

It's going to be okay, It's Going to be okay
It's going to be okay, It's Going to be okay
Uncle Matt loves you, Aunt Gwenny Gwen loves you too
Miles loves you, Levi loves you, EVERYONE loves YOU!

Now Johnathan is not a singer, he doesn't go around with a tune on his tongue or anything like that...but sometimes, when he's trying to calm Eli down, he will sing this song, and it is so sweet. His version is...It go be okay, it go be okay, mommy loves you, Uncle Matt loves you, It go be okay...haha! Too precious!
