[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:  It is a regular day, same day, every other week.  I do present that grandma and grandpa are coming in a very happy and excited tone.  He immediately asks for his nanny and continues to ask for her during the day with my parents.  [/quote]

Can you stop doing every other week. Instead make it the same day every week. A:so tell him earlier. Grandma is coming Thursday  what ever day it is. You can show Grandma  whatever.
You will see nanny whenever the next day is. Nanny can help with this too by talking up grandma time.

Additionally I would  have a special box of toys just for grandma visits. Or you can make a bag for grandma to bring with her when she comes that has special things just for the visits.
Give  grandma ideas for  a few activities he likes to do during the day.
Let Grandparents know they can be firm with him if he is acting up. In addition to be active and playful I'm sure  his nanny also has firm boundaries with him.[/quote]

My parents aren't available every week and I am home with DS every other week on that day.

DS, according to my parents, doesn't "act up" he is just cranky and asks for nanny.

My mother brings him a new toy when she comes up and my Dad always has DS's favorite cookies with him.

The main problem is that DS always wants to go outside when they are with him and my parents aren't up for going out as often as the nanny does.   [/quote]
