I call my grandparents grandma and grandpa followed by their first names. Apparently my brother started this when he was really little, and now all the grandkids call my mom's mom "Grandma Betty." It just stuck!

I'm not sure what Lyra will call Eric's parents, but my mom is already "Grandma Peany-Butter." When I was in college I studied abroad in Russia, and my mom watched the dogs while I was gone. When I got home (after only a summer) Marta was so fat from all the peanut butter that she could no longer jump on the bed! My mom loves to spoil, and dogs are no exception... we started to joke that the dogs called her "Granda Peany-Butter" and my mom says Lyra can call her that, too. [Even though we have lived in a different state for over 3 years, Marta and Dell still get excited when I tell them Grandma Peany-Butter is coming].
