Are You?

R's new thing:

aaaare yoooou?

She says it all the time, walking around the house.

PopPop, aaaare yoooou?

Gammie Gampie, aaaare yoooou?

The other day after peeing in the potty, J told her she could just use the washcloth once she got back in the tub. Instead of walking back over to me so she could get back in the tub, she started walking around the bathroom searching...

Washcloth, aaaaare yoooou?

She says it when she's staring straight at us, when we're doing something else (looking at a piece of paper, talking to the other parent, eating food).

Mommy, aaaare yooooou?

Daddy, aaaare yoooou?

We tried to get her to say WHERE are you, but that only happened a couple of times.

We hear "aaaaare yooooou" attached to just about every person or thing imaginable, twenty to thirty times a day.

I started saying to her this morning,

R, aaaaare yoooou?

and she said

Mommy, aaaaare yooooou?
