I heart Monday/ say my name.

I love Monday.  Love, love, love Monday.  Especially rainy Mondays like today.  You all know that I adore my husband and all of his amazingness, but one day with the house all to myself is a very good thing.  He works from home 3 days a week and I work away from home 3 days a week and it all works out just perfectly.  Ah, but Monday is all mine and I spend all day soaking up the alone.  It makes me a nicer person.

On this particular Monday I am in need of your assistance; AH and I need grandparent names.  Lucky little baby Cambria has three sets of fantastic, loving grandparents and I would like designated names that set this particular set apart.   I suggested "Her Supreme Highness Hippie Green Grandma", but that might be a little bit too much to remember. :-)   So, what I would love is for you to comment here and tell me what names you called your grandparents, or what your grandchildren call you.  Maybe it's a family or cultural name....or maybe just something cute the child made up....I want to hear them all.  I was in favor of just letting Cambria decide, but apparently it's a better idea to decide first and then have Mom and Dad refer to us that way.  Makes sense. 

Thanks for your input, and have a fantastic, peaceful Monday.

The boys have always called my mom Nana, & my dad is Bop. They call my grandparents Neecee (her name is Bernice) and Papa.
(I've been sick & am therefore also soaking up some desperately-needed Alone today.)

Pretty, pretty leaves!

I did NOT want to be Grandma, so our grandkids call us Grandmom and Granddad---they call my mom GramBetty.

Nana (I want to be a Nana someday), Grandma, Grahams (Grams?), MomMom for you, Pop-pop, Gramps, Pappy (Papi if you like Boston)...

My maternal grandmother was christened The Matriarch by my dad and it was shortened to Matri.
I'm not sure what that would sound like in toddler-speak though.

I had a Mimi (her actual name was Catherine.) Then there were Trudy and John-- Mom's parents. The grand kids called 'em by their nick names, but the adult children called them Mama and Daddy until their dying day. You might end up as Haw-wee (Holly?) or something.
