Which would you prefer if you were a parent/parents? Which sounds sweeter? I prefer Mama and Papa; they sound more quaint.

My daughter currently calls us MAMA *at the top of her lungs* and Deedoo. She's only 18 months though so we're thinking that will change. Daddy is praying it will change actually because for about a week she called him DooDoo...which cracks me up! My mom decided she was Nan because it didn't sound old to her and my dad didn't pick a name so my daughter calls her Pa. My sister was rooting for Poohpah for my dad's name but it annoyed him so much we quit with that. Daddy's mom is called Grandma *insert last name here* and her husband is just called by his given name.

nicely technically you're nonetheless his Grandparents even even with the truth that he will be living with you. I advise you only enable the school understand the problem. further and extra Grandparents are elevating their grandkids. bypass by Mama and Papa.

Let them call you what they feel comfortable with. Wait until they're older then you'll hear some quaint, old fashioned names.

I am happy with both and so is my fiance.
Whichever they feel they would like to call us. Either way, still means the same and that is the joyfulness of it all.
