Col..."MeMo" fits! Ellie is so wonderful!<br /><br />Colin calls Duncan's mother "Grandma Karol". He calls my mother "Grandma Olsen" although we don't know how he learned her last name. He calls my father "Grandpo" but I think that will morph into "Grandpa" after a while. I like "Grandpo" especially because he called both my parents "Grandma" for quite a while.<br /><br />No matter what they are called, grandparents certainly are a blessing!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08499697998520545810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36560567.post-22165394668270686672011-07-15T10:57:22.186-05:002011-07-15T10:57:22.186-05:00My sister-in-law goes by grandmama with her grandc...My sister-in-law goes by grandmama with her grandchildren.

Somehow, I think Grandmama (with an accent on the second syllable of mama) would suit you well.Lindahl News 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08700696893724625242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36560567.post-16528529001362315442011-07-15T09:45:58.357-05:002011-07-15T09:45:58.357-05:00ok, so part of the comment didn't get in ...

I somewhat like gran-dad for Ray. That's what my mother called her grandfather.

I called my grandparents Grandma and Grandpa so I knew I wanted something different. Erin started calling us Nana and Papa for the boys and it stuck.
