Today’s Ms Fancy Pants is giving a list of reasons why she loves her Grandma so much. She wrote this list while spending the last 4 days with grandma while I was at BlogHer and surprisingly Grandma survived. Thank you mom, your award is in the mail.
Things I like about Grandma:
1.) She buys me things
2.) She lets me sleep at her house
3.) She lets me stay at her house (apparently this is different from reason #2)
4.) She lets me bring home toys that I like from her house.
5.) She lets me watch TV
6.) She has cute little dogs
7.) She takes me to fun places like my Auntie’s house
8.) She has fizzy water (sparking water)
9.) She knits me things
10.) She makes me pancakes
As you can see, grandma is a special person in our house.
As always, leave Ms Fancy Pants (Vampire Ninja) a comment and she will reply back to them with me.
Thank you!

Hey Ms. Fancy Pants:
Your Grandma sounds fun and cool. I like your #1 the most. A Grandma who buys you things is the best!!!
Great list! Watch out Jessica, you’re daughter may JUST take over your blog!
I love when Grandma takes me to buy things. But sometimes she makes me do chores for them which isn’t so fun.

I bet you mommy likes no 1 too! Anything to relive our budget helps
My mother does make me pancakes but not all the time like Grandma does.

Another great post, Ms. Fancy Pants! I’m confused about #10 though. Does your mom not make you pancakes? Oh wait, I forgot who we’re talking about for a second. Of COURSE your mom doesn’t cook!
Listen, when you come to stay at my house I’ll not only pay you, but I’ll cook for you too. I make some pretty awesome brownies and chocolate chip cookies. Kids like that stuff, right?
LOL, Pancakes happen at our house today! I’ll even let you drop chocolate chip morsels in them
Just watch out for houses full of boys! I’ve heard they’re quite the eaters!
I’ll come to visit you as soon as my mom sends me. I love brownies and cookies.

I’m wondering if your Grandma is currently adopting any more grandchildren? I would love to have her as my grandma
she sounds absolutely amazing, you’re very lucky to have such a wonderful grandma!! 
I think my Grandma needs 10,000 more grandkids so there is plenty of room for you.

All great reasons to love your Grandma. Just curious, what are the things she’s knitted for you before?
She made me scarves, a blanket, and hats.
Ms. Fancy Pants, you are so sweet. I hope your grandma gets online to read this post. After reading your posts and those by your mom, I am think I see a book written by you two in the future, discussing the best things in life!
I want to be a blogger and write a book. Hopefully my mom will let me have my own blog one day.

Ms. Fancy Pants,
Your grandma sounds wonderful! I have very happy memories of staying at my grandmother’s house and she would buy us things and make us pancakes. Grandmothers are the best!!
Yes my grandma is the best. I love her a lot.

Hey Ms. Fancy Pants! I’m sure you had a great time with your grandma this week but I imagine you missed your mom a lot. I can’t do sparkling water. For some reason, it scares me to drink it. I’m not sure why. When I come to visit, please have still water for me. Thanks!
Don’t worry, we will have regular water for you and we will put the dogs outside. We don’t want you to be scared.

Hey Vampire Ninja, another great list! I can see why you love your grandma! I would like to visit her myself. Especially if she let me eat pancakes (with extra syrup) while watching TV.
I don’t get to watch TV while eating pancakes but that would make me really happy.

So Grandma is like a Ritz version of your Mom. She sounds like a lot of fun and I bet she loves having you over and spoiling you both. She even spoils your mom when she picks you up, I am sure!

Oh and Vampire Ninja, I love your lists. Always!!
I don’t know if my Grandma spoils my mom but she spoils me.

Miss Fancy Pants…
I also have an awesome grandma! She taught me how to make pies and I’ll always remember the great times we’ve had together.
If you come to my house, I’ll let you ride my horses. Then right before your mom picks you up, I’ll stuff you full of candy. Deal?
Deal. I am on my way to your house right now.

So glad you love your Grandma so much Miss Fancy Pants! I have always had a special relationship with my grandma and I wouldn’t change it for the world! I’m sure she loves you & your sister like crazy!
My grandma does love us a lot. She is good to us.

says:
Ms Fancy Pants, you sound like you have the best Grandma ever!
Doesn’t your mom let you watch TV, though?
My mom lets me watch TV sometimes but not as much as Grandma does.
She sounds like a pretty phenomenal grandma! I hope someday, when my kids are grown and have kids of their own, that I can be just as good at the grandmotherly stuff!
She is a great grandma. I hope you are the same way when you have grandkids.

Vampire Ninja,
Your Grandma sounds fabulous! Do you think she would adopt me too? I like pancakes…
Yes she would adopt you but you can’t eat my pancakes.
It’s easy to be a good grandma when your grandchildren are as special as you are. Can’t wait to see you again. I think I’ll post this list on the frig to look at everyday. Love you Ms Fancy Pants.
I love you too Grandma and I think putting this on the fridge is a great idea.
What a great post! I love MY Grandma for all the same reasons. Except for the cute little dogs. I have my own now
I have my own dogs too but they are big. I like Grandma’s because they are little.
Dear Ms Fancy Pants,
My kids love pancakes, too. We usually make them look like Mickey Mouse, by pouring the batter in the shape of a head and big, round ears. What kind of syrup do you like best? Ever tried blueberry syrup? It’s awesome!
I think I have tried blueberry syrup but my favorite is maple.

Grandmas are awesome. Make sure you ask her for funny/embarrassing stories about your mommy when you are older.
I will be sure to do that when I talk to my Grandma again.

Hey Ms Fancy Pants! Your grandma sounds awesome!
My husband has a really awesome (and easy) pancake recipe that our daughter LOVED when she was younger (she’s grown now). I can always send it to your mom if you like!
I love pancakes but my mom doesn’t make them for me all the time.
Grandmas are awesome!
Yes they are!

says:
Wow! I really like grandma too! Can I borrow her? It’s been a long time since I had pancakes. Yum!
You can’t borrow my grandma but you can come over and visit her when I am there.

This is what my mom is like with our kids.
She EVEN runs their bathwater. WHAT?
Fun Post
My Grandma used to give me baths but not anymore since I am older now.
Sounds like you had a great time with Grandma!
I did have a good time with Grandma. I like staying with her.

OK, Ms. Fancy Pants. Does Grandma brush your hair? If so, I’m moving in.
She tries to brush my hair but I don’t like it. I want it to be curly.

Dear Ms. Vampire Ninja (a.k.a Ms. FancyPants),
Treasure your grandma for as long as you can – I no longer have one
I only spent the night once at my Ajee’s (Dad’s Mom’s) house – she fed me pumpkin and roti (yum) and plaited my hair really tight with coconut oil (as is our custom). My Mom was washing my hair for a month after to get out the smell
But I loved it because I got to be the only one who spent the night – my sisters didn’t (ha ha too bad for them). Sometimes it’s nice to be the center of attention even for one day.
My other grandma lived in a different country, so we only saw her once in a while. She smelled of roses, so everytime I smell roses I remember her. She also loved Royal Blue – so I love seeing that colour and remembering her as well. She used to keep a comb in her car, and although she had short hair, used to comb her hair before getting out of the car, no matter if she was going to church, a party, the mall or the grocery store. She also visited us once at my home – and sewed all the hems of all my school skirts, and those of my sisters, since we had STAPLED them together and she thought it was just shameful.
I miss my grandmas – they were beautiful women inside and out
Thank you for this list – and for making me think of them today 
Love always…
Grandmas are very special. I love spending time with mine.
Grandma sounds fun! My daughter loves my mom, too. At her house, after all, there’s no real bedtime, ice cream is just as “nutritious” as chicken, and Nick Jr’s Little Bear is always on the table. *sigh
My grandma doesn’t make me go to bed early like my parents do. She lets me watch TV instead. I like that.

says:
Sounds like you have a pretty amazing grandma!
I think so.
Grandmas are the best aren’t they! My son loves going to visit his especially since he gets to do whatever he wants. I just wish he’d spend the night there once in awhile. Maybe when he’s older
Staying the night at Grandma’s is a lot of fun.

Great list, Miss Fancy Pants. My little boy stayed with his grandma too. This morning when he got out of bed, he asked me where she was.
So cute. I missed my grandma after staying with her all weekend too.
Sleeping in and pancakes make Grandma’s sounds like a wonderful place to visit.
I love visiting my Grandma.

I think spending time with grandparents is so important! Sounds like it was a lot of fun.
It was a lot of fun and I can’t wait to visit her again.

Grandmas are awesome, aren’t they? You are blessed to have such a wonderful Grandma in your life. Make some great memories with her, Kiddo!
My grandma is awesome. I love spending time with her.
Vampire Ninja, your list is very sweet! I hope you tell your grandma how much you love her!
My grandma said she is going to print this list up for her fridge.

Dear Fancy Pants: I used to fly to Pennsylvania and spend 2 weeks with my grandparents every summer. What a FUN time that was. My grandma always made me spaghetti for the first night we arrived because it’s my favorite. Your grandma sounds awesome!!! And I LOVE little dogs.
I wish I could spend 2 weeks with my grandma. That would be fun.

Oh, what a great list, Ms Fancy Pants! I love my Nana very much, too. She always cooks me something special when I stay at her house even now that she has 2 great-grandchildren and I’m no longer the grandbaby.
She used to make me clothes and she taught me how to sew so I could make stuff for my Barbie dolls!
What a good grandma. My grandma doesn’t sew but she used to make jewelry and she lets me keep some of it when I go to her house.
I’m glad you get to sleep AND stay there during the day. Much more convenient that way. And who doesn’t love pancakes??
Pancakes with chocolate chips are my favorite.
I’m pretty sure I loved my Granny for the exact same reasons. Except the tv thing. But they had an indoor pool in their condo, so that made up for no tv. Kind of. LOL.
I wish my grandma had a pool too. That would be a lot of fun.
Wow, your grandma sounds awesome! I can’t wait until I get to be a grandma, I hope my grandkids like coming to my house as much as you like your grandmas!
I hope so too because I love going to my grandma’s house.
Great list! Your Grandma is lucky to have such an appreciative granddaughter!
I love my grandma a lot.
Well I think those were all very reasonable points. I suspect my older children would have included a few points which would have stated that Grandma takes them out for lunch and buys them stuff.
I like when my Grandma takes me out for lunch too.

Dear Ms. Fancy Pants,
I have a son your age who is at his grandmother’s right now. You know what his favorite thing is about going to grandma’s house? She buys these crazy brownies called “Cosmic Brownies” that are covered with frosting and multicolored sprinkles. And my seven year old and his little brother love to eat those brownies. I never buy them because they are not healthy!
It’s nice that your grandmother knits for you. What was the last thing she knitted for you, and do you want to learn to knit some day?
I would love if my grandma bought those brownies for me.
My grandma knitted me some scarves and hats. I love wearing them in the winter.

So glad you had such a great time with Grandma Ms Fancy Pants.
I love going to my Grandma’s house.
I’m jealous! Your grandmother sounds awesome. I wish I had a grandmother like that.
I love my grandma. I wish you had one like her too.

If my grandma was like that, she’d be my absolute favorite! And fizzy water? Yummy!
I love having fizzy water when I visit my grandma.
