Why do you define the call as a failure? Failure for who?
Think about building a routine around the drop-off at Gma's. Sit and talk for 5 minutes before you leave, sing the same silly song in the car every time, 3 Little Birds by Bob Marley is a great one. When you get there have a little special rhyme you repeat letting her know you'll be thinking of her and you'll be back soon.
Kids have very little control so they like repetition and routine.
Be creative.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
