How many times can a 4 year old say "Nanna" in five minutes?

Think the answer is probably around 100! Dgs 2 is at home today with a cough, pale face and runny nose but is still talking at Olympic level! He's prefaced every comment to me with "Nanna". I've just given him a snack and half an hour's tv (Mickey Mouse's Clubhouse!) to rest my ears. Perhaps it's the Calpol........

I help out at my grandsons toddler group and it is the joy of my life when he shouts ''mamar" from the other side of the hall with his little boy voice. He's not two yet and is adorable.

We are all so lucky! It has been the very best time of my life being a Grandma.

My just 15 year old DGS still gives me a hug and says 'love you Nan'.
We are away on holiday at the moment and Dd3 sent me a "messagesaying that every time the doorbell sounds or the dogs bark DGS ( 20 months) runs to the door shouting "Nana Nana" Can't wait for him to be right when we get back.

Savour all the Nans..Nanna's and Grandma's as long as you can! My Grandson is 10 and still runs to me for hugs ... my granddaughter is 5 and she doesn't so much love a cuddle...just so different kids.She was helping me to tidy her bedroom after school the other day and she said Friday was gonna be 'mufti' day and she was wearing her Spider Man costume... but said the mask was unstitched.I asked her where mummy kept her sewing things ... she looked sideways at me !!! So I re-phrased it and ask her where the needles and cottons were kept...this time she turned full on to me and says " Nanny!! Mummy's not a Granny". Mmmmm ... my daughter was never one of the domestic sorts. But did we laugh when I told her the tale!

To me Granny is the best name I’ve ever had. I just love that wee voice saying Granny. Best experience of my life.

I'm with Alima, my two grandsons( 3yrs & 15months) are in Australia, we met up with my son & family recently in Thailand (not such a long flight) Every morning in the hotel restaurant for breakfast the oldest (3yrs) would see us as he entered and run to wards us shouting Grandpaaa! This memory & the havoc they reeked at breakfast ?will have to last for 18months/ 2years before we see them again. In the meantime we keep in contact with FaceTime. We have just enjoyed a peanut butter sandwich & fruit with them. Very messy but wonderful.
