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

I read in a magazine recently about a child that kept calling his Nan from upstairs in bed.
Nan got exasperated and said "I swear, if I hear that word "Nan" again...!"
All went quiet until some time later when a little voice
"Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones!"

That's brilliant-love it! Currently I can't even go to the loo without him standing outside talking!

With my grand daughter it's Grandma. Every sentence. Wouldn't have it any other way though.

I am a retired nursery nurse (30 years) my name would be called more than any other of the many staff.
On really bad days, I would look sternly at the children and tell them that I was changing my name to 'Triantiwantigontalope', thing is I couldn't hold my stern expression, and we would all end up laughing.
My DGC no longer call me Nanny, but "Naaaaaaan" and constantly too!!

I'm am also on demand x2 DGS
Gan (gran) play with me
Gan I need a wee (asked him 2mins ago if need one)
Gan I'm hungry (Only just had lunch)
Gan want to play with the cats
(actually means want to run cats ragged round garden)
Gan I want to watch Bing (even though my brother hates it)
And on and on .......
Love 'em to bits

Ah, but think ahead to when their lives are so busy that they no longer shout for you, you will just wish you could hear them once more. love and treasure every minute with them while they are little and you are still at the centre of their lives. But having said that, my older grandkids still fling the door open and shout, Nana, Nana, Nana! I need - a costume sewing, or something for the fete, or help with this school project, or seeking refuge from a scolding parent, knowing I will spoil them and provide a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on.

Everthankful your name sums up how I feel about my GC

Our DGS is 5 and a bit now. For years he has managed to fit a "Nana" in to every sentence and he does chat a lot! Love listening to him, because he has spent a lot of time with us he often prattles on sounding like a little old man. Another sound I want to bottle is him hurtling down the garden or anywhere else shouting " Grandaaad" at the top of his voice. We are so lucky.

So resonate with all these comments. My little darling GS can only string three or four words together so far but will often just say "Nanna" and then I wait for some pearl of wisdom to drop from his lips and he just says "Nanna" again - it's all in the intonation isn't it! I guess they learn early on that this gets our attention as (so far) I always reply, "Yes Jack?" and I count my blessings every time that I am here to receive his attention and affection.

It's music to my ears, though it's 'Nanna' every five seconds.
The other day, DGD gave me one of her melting big-blue-eyes looks and said "You are the bestest Nanna in the world!"
What could I do but reach out for a hug, at which point she said "Gerrof me, I too hot!"

Miss those young days. My gd is now nearly 17 when I remind her of things she said when she was little she says 'so embarrising'.

I tell my wee one (who's been here all week poorly too) I'm changing my name from 'grandma '!!
I wouldn't change her for all the tea in China either, despite a challenging week!

Nothing better than my DGS calling Nanny come & play please? My DGD sings Nan Nan Nan Nan. Love them both sooo much!

I have 5 yr old twin grandchildren and whenever they are with me it's 'granny.......' granny....... granny....... but they are moving to New Zealand soon and I am soooooooo going to miss 'granny......'!

With one of our DGD's it was always "Excuse me" even if she wasn't interrupting anyone.

My little grandson has only just began to talk. I cannot think of a nicer sound when he says nana. It sends tingle up and down my spine.

.....but it's the best name I have ever been called !

It was the day my 9 year old Grandson shouted "are you listening Grandmama" I realised it was all going over my head and I had stoped listening to......... granma granma we all Curled up laughing . one of many beautiful memories I have with my now teen age grand children.

'Grandad' is the most popular word to yell in our house from all 7 of the GC. He is the fount of all knowledge; with whacky ideas.........Then it's 'Grandma' for food, wiping bums, drinks, putting on shoes........I'm sure you can get the picture

How many of us with dgc living the other side of the world would love the chance to hear the 'nan' word other than by courtesy of the internet.
Our little ones are not little ones for long so make the most of it before they fly our nests.

Yesterday three year old grandson put his arms round me and gave me a big cuddle and kiss followed by 'Granny would you like to play trains with me'. Which I obviously did!

My 5yo gd manages to slip 'grandma ' into every sentence. Never realised how much until neighbour said she knew when she was here cos all she could hear in garden was 'grandma can you/will you .... ' !

I love it when my youngest granddaughter, two next month, kisses the phone when we are on Facetime and says Nanny, nanny. We don't live close to them and I
love to see her smiling face when she sees me on the screen.

If only .... Mine live five thousand miles away ... ?
