Tomorrow is a big day… it is Grandparents Day! Unfortunately, my girls only have one set of living Grandparents but they adore them so much. We will say a special prayer for our wonderful “Angel” Grandparents.
My parents love receiving sentimental things from the girls. The girls absolutely adore their PawPaw and YayYay. You may ask why the girls call my mom YayYay ;). When M was a baby, my mom would always call her on phone or come over and go yayayayayayayayay to her over and over. M would just crack up so much and laugh so hard. Well when M was right around a year, when she would see my mom, she would automatically yell out Yay Yay! So the name was born. They know no different! I love that M gave her a unique name too and L just followed suit naturally and calls her the same thing.
So when we heard that Grandparents.com launched a new section to their website to let you send a sentimental recording for FREE… I was all giddy. You can surprise the Grandparents anytime, any day and anywhere with a special recording. We did just this tonight, so the Grandparents will get it first thing in the morning when they wake up. My girls sang the song “You are my Sunshine” and also said a couple sentences about how much they love them and we clicked finished and had it emailed. I can’t wait to hear their reaction.
I think now every couple of weeks, we will do this to surprise them and just make their day :). Go ahead and give it a try… it sooo cool and something they will treasure always and forever. AND its FREE!
This was truly delightful. Thank you for sharing 🙂 I would like to share the news about an incredible new service that strengthens the bond between grandparents and grandchildren. Grandchild Connection allows distant grandparents and grandchildren to develop close, meaningful relationships by utilizing today’s technology of video conferencing. As part of the “VideoVisit” experience, we coach grandparents in educational and social activities that enhance the bonds they share with their grandchildren, and we provide the tools to achieve that end. We have launched our website today, National Grandparents Day, September 13th, 2009Come visit us @ http://grandchildconnection.com
It is always a pleasure in getting the affection and care of your grandparents.These moments are real treasure of the life…
It seems your M and L have had wonderful time with their YayYay and PawPaw. Absolutely, they are gifted to have such lovable grandparents..!

PawPaw and YayYay, that’s just great. I love inside jokes that turn into fun nicknames. My son calls my mother Mumma because he heard how I call her Mum, and one day when I was on the phone with my mom, Grayson came running up to ask me who I was talking to. I said” I’m talking to my Grandma,” and he just stared at me. So I then said, “my mum, Grandma,” and for some reason Grayson just started yelling Mumma, Mumma, Mumma while reaching for the phone. I gave him the phone and the name stuck ever since. Thanks for sharing this great story.
It seems like you are so much on to your grand parents and caring about them a lot. Indeed this is required. Because the old is gold. They are our land marks on our path and we are moving on that path. And actually the old age, just as childhood need more affection. And they should be given. As we respect our ancestors , we should respect our grand parents.
I am really glad to see this post and this is really nice.
Lovely story with your mom and daughter. I used to call my grandma Lola, traditional name for grandmother. I love my Lola so much and she always ask me if what I’m doing… Its really nice to see the same way to your family.
Great post, it was ga great pleasure for me to read it. Unfortunately I am alone and nobody cares about me((((
