The Big Grandma and the Little Grandma



About 8 months ago Swayz started calling her Grandparents unique names. Instead of calling them Grandma and Grandpa Arnell or Patterson, she calls them the Big and Little grandma's and grandpa's. The Arnell's are the Big Grandma and Grandpa and the Patterson's are the Little Grandma and Grandpa. She would ask if we are going to the big or little grandmas house or if she was going to see her big or little grandma today. We thought it was cute so we let her keep calling them that. We thought she would grow out of it. Well 8 months later and she is still calling them that. One day the big grandma asked Swayz why she called her the big grandma. Swayz told her that it was because her house was bigger than the little grandmas house. So it only made sense for Swayz to refer to her as the big grandma. I don't know how much longer she will do this but I love it and it still sounds so cute to hear her talk about her big and little grandparents.

Oh gosh, Swayzee is so adorable. That's really great that your kids have both sets of grandparents living so close. And I love that picture of Swayzee looking at her baby brother with a huge smile on her face!

That is so cute. One of my nephews did that same thing but he did it with colors. My mom was blue grandma and the other set was red grandma. Kids are so creative!!
