Fighting for my attention

When my children were younger they would follow me around like little ducklings. As a matter of fact that was my nickname for them. I couldn't got to the bathroom without some child crying by the door, knocking asking what I was doing, or opening the door so they could be close to me. I thought that those days of fighting for my attention was gone but I was mistaken
My kids now have the issue of when I am spending time with one child be it doing their hair, having a conversation with them, or even scolding, I seem to have another child trying to vie for my attention. This morning as I was using the blow dryer on one childs hair  have 2 other children trying to show me awards from the previous day and have discussions with me which at this point just adds to noise as I can't hear a thing, all while father is quietly in the room just watching this happen. "tell your father, he would like to hear about your award" child looks at me confused and then continues talking. UGH!
