Happy 5th Birthday Mario!

Five years ago on April, 6th 2011 at 9:34 pm, I became a mom to my amazing 11 pound baby boy, Mario Lukka Jovel. Since the day Mario was born, every day in every way keeps getting better and better! I'm happy to share our joys and our journeys here on Petit-Swag with you, and since it's Mario's Birthday I also want to share with you the lyrics from his favorite song, John Lennon's Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy). Mario and I listen and sing along to it together every night when I put him to bed. Enjoy!

"Close your eyes
Have no fear
The monster's gone
He's on the run and your daddy's here

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Out on the ocean sailing away
I can hardly wait
To see you come of age
But I guess we'll both just have to be patient
'Cause it's a long way to go
A hard row to hoe
Yes it's a long way to go
But in the meantime

Before you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Darling, darling, darling
Darling Sean"
