In reality she wants to see the picture of them come up on my cell phone or she sees the laptop and wants to video chat with them. We don't always call them when she asks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-ask-to-call-grandma-or-grandpa#post-305121 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 11:36:25 +0000 Andrea 305121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She asks for her "gung gung" (maternal grandpa) sometimes. She doesn't like to talk on the phone that much, though. Video chat is more interesting for toddlers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-ask-to-call-grandma-or-grandpa#post-305118 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 11:34:13 +0000 Honeybee 305118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD asks sometimes, and we always call. Sometimes she asks to Skype with her auntie, so we try to do that when she asks, too. She doesn't seem too confused by voicemail, although she doesn't like leaving messages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-ask-to-call-grandma-or-grandpa#post-304486 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 07:30:05 +0000 chopsuey 304486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She asks for my sister! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-ask-to-call-grandma-or-grandpa#post-304426 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 06:32:40 +0000 Rosie Girl 304426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS asks all the time! He also asks to call his Aunties :) I always let him. Like Charlie though, he is still confused with the answering machine. Today we called my mom and her answering machine picked up and he goes "Nana, do you know where my blocks are?" and then he just sat there waiting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-ask-to-call-grandma-or-grandpa#post-304418 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 06:18:11 +0000 heffalump 304418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's too little. But my mom will be so excited for that day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-ask-to-call-grandma-or-grandpa#post-304094 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 21:48:21 +0000 junebugmama 304094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. He does ask. We always let him call if it's a decent time or if she's not at work. He's 4 (almost 5) now though so it's usually to tell them something important about his day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-ask-to-call-grandma-or-grandpa#post-304057 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 21:37:15 +0000 mrbee 304057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie has been asking to call his grandma a lot lately! (Grandma for him refers to Bee's mom... he uses the Japanese word for Grandma to refer to my mom.)</p> <p>We've called her a bunch of times, but the last few times we've gone through to her voicemail... I think he's kind of confused by voicemail though. He keeps asking why she isn't talking back!</p> <p>Does your LO ever ask to call grandma or grandpa? Do you call them when your LO asks? </p>
