Garrity...four years, nine months

So...not sure how this is possible, but YOU ARE ALMOST FIVE. this past year I have been awful with trying to chronicle the first year of Grantham's life with as much furor as I covered yours...as a result; I am lacking in the Garrity Scott department! That being said, I feel that I will need to start chronicling the lives of our family versus trying to go back and forth with each of you...it was, after all, your request that I combine the two blogs and create ONE Garrity and Grantham blog for the two of you to share.  It is not without emotion that I type these words. In your almost five years of life, you have become one of the most intelligent children I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. You are so wise beyond your years... using words and phrases much beyond your years: "Please bring my iPad so that I may entertain myself on the ride home." or "I'll trim off the excess around the cookie cutter, Mommy." You and I are almost halfway through Dickens': A Christmas Carol. You chat nonchalantly about tutorials, and use the phrase: as well.

 You are very much into acting and theater and all that goes with that industry. While watching the making of Peter Pan, they began to chronicle the casting process. While totally engrossed with the television,  you said with as much heartfelt longing as I've ever heard you express, " Mommy, I'd love to be a part of those details." 
You love makeup, you love fashion, you love American Girl dolls and Disney characters. You love to play. You also love to be outside! You love to ride your scooter around and around the house at an alarming speed! You love to play with, and blow up, balloons! Your favorite foods are mac-and-cheese, cottage cheese, sticky rice, toast and grape jelly, and the marshmallows from the Lucky Charms box. 

You are the best big sister in the world. The only fault in your sistering, is that sometimes you love with too much gusto...with too much fervor and strength :) 

As your fourth year comes to an end, you and I have started to plan for your fifth birthday! You have a very specific vision and idea for your fifth birthday, which has become: bounce-house/Easter/Frozen...I suppose I should start planning now for such a specific and intense request...
