And it's one of the nicest names I ever been given.

This morning my little grandaughter celbrated her 9 month birthday by staring at me, giving me a big smile and shouting NanNan, she repeated it several more times today just to make sure I knew my name :-)

How lovely - a treasured memory for you to hug to your heart!

Grand-children are just wonderful, aren't they!! xx

Hi Julie,

You must be chuffed, you're so lucky my grandaughter is the same age as yours, and I was over in the US for her birth, but obviously cant see her or be with her all the time, sad to say, but luckily for modern technology, I often see her by video link, God bless her and her sister, fond regards Claire xxxxx

Claire,

My grand-daughter has a grand-dad and step-grandma in Texas ... she has seen Grand-dad when she was 2 months old and is still to see step-grandma. her paternal grandparents and spouses are all down in the south east (London and Kent - we are in Staffordshire) so I'm her only regular grand-parent ... I'm very privileged :-)

NanNan Julie xx

Hi Julie,

You are blessed believe me I know I miss my grand-daughter and her sister (her moms first child), so much you cant believe it, every time we see those babies creeping and shuffling on the carpet in that add for nappies, we all go "oh! would you look at Claire Belle", she was called after me and her other granny whos called Clara Belle, she's precious xxx

in reply to

By the way they dont live too far away from your grand daughters step gran parents, they live in Kentucky, lovely place, been there twice, Michael my son brought me over for 3 weeks when Claire Belle was going to be born bless her, shes always been a healthy baby thank God, and her sisters so sweet too, you have to love her too., have a nice weekend, I thought yesterday was Friday for a while and was wishing everyone a nice weekend even a taxi man, since I got so used to everyone saying it on this site, I was wonder why he looked at me, I'll get a name for being daft, cant fault them on that if I did. lol, gentle hugs Claire xxxxx

Such a joy. My Grandaughter has discovered I have a christian name and now calls me Mamma Lynne . Until he could pronounce his Gs My Grandson called me 'Hannah'. I say I work at keeping my fibro under control because of my Grandchildren, but that having them keeps the fibro in perspective. x.

My grandchildren call me dana.....they could not pronounce the gr in grandma, just like

ptolemy's post.

That's lovely I have a 15 month old grandson who lives with me and I love nothing better than going to him in a morning and he holds his hands up to me saying nan nan, and the toothy smile, gives me somthing to wake up and drag myself out of bed for no matter how much pain I'm in. :)
