Default What do you get called by your grand kids?

I thought it would be fun to see what creative names your grandchildren call you.

My grandson calls me Mamaw, which many southerners use. He has 4 grandmas and grandpas, so when he need to talk about one of us, he uses our dogs' names. So mine is Mamaw Daisy and my ex's is Papaw JJ. I'm glad I didn't name my dog Rover, or Casper. LOL

One friend who is French uses the French word for grandma, which is meme. (sp?)

I only have 1 grandson, he's two,and he calls me Nonnie. I'm Sicilian so my daughter wanted him to call me the Italian name for grandma. We thought it was Nonnie or Nonna...My husband is PapaJim. His other grandparents are Grammie Pammie (my idea) and Pop Pop.

BTW - nice topic, don't you find that whatever a child calls his grandparents, that it sounds so darn adorable coming out of their mouths??

Yes, I love the sound of it - but sometimes by the end of my grandson's visit, I'm ready to not hear it for a day or 2.

One thing I'm careful of is to never use the words babysit or watch when I have my grandson. I usually call my son and ask if he can visit me.
