[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 498165, member: 1514"] How long was he with Grandma? I probably should recuse myself from this post because I basically took care of my 5 year old granddaughter and she lived with us for weeks at a time, then every other weekend, I saw her every monday...we were as tight as tight could be so this is a hard subject for me. My granddaughters mom took her to MO the beginning of the school year and we only saw her for a week at Xmas and my granddaughter begged us to not make her go back. She wanted to stay here. She would rather live with her Daddy and new sister than with her mommy. Its so sad. So anyway...back to you and your son. Im sure he misses grandma. No matter how long he was with her they had a bond from the way he is behaving. The two of them need to keep it up. My granddaughter took a bit to get into the skype but then her mom wont even do it with us anymore. We did it about 3 times and then she just quit. I would continue attempting to do that. Just you skype with grandma and eventually he will come around. Ask grandma to send goodie boxes with just little things for the boys. She can video herself reading to them and send them the dvd. She can bake cookies if she is into that sort of thing. Whatever she did with him, she can send him. Make sure they talk on the phone even if all he says is a few words. In the beginning all I got was "yeah, school is good, I love you." And that was with her having a phone I bought her! She still isnt much for talking on the phone. Sometimes I can get her to talk on the phone for 20 or so minutes but not often. About the room. I had boys 2 years apart and both difficult child's. I would put them together. Mine were in bunks but at 2 and 4 I would do twins if you have the room unless the 4 year old really wants a bunk. They have those adorable beds with tent like things on top that look like camo which would probably make your boys really excited. Now once they get older you may want to separate again but who knows. Cory and Jamie lived together their entire lives. They are very close. [/QUOTE]
