Seren: I know what you mean about the yelling or hollering for someone when you can just walk and find them, lol. In this instance though, they are standing there next to him while he's in his recliner throne, or in the same room as him at least. Riding in the car etc. They are just saying his name over and over again patiently, until he notices or they give up, I've witnessed that happen. The kids often do that to me, say my name more than once AS I am answering them. It's like they expect to not be heard or be interrupted - so by default they are calling out my name, multiple times. And I end up saying "yes, sweetie....what's up? .....DD#2, I am answering you. Give mommy a second to reply after you say my name."
