Acting like a 2.5 year old
I think we've hit that terrible 2/3's window or something. Joe had mentioned a couple times over the past few months, "Yeah, he's been acting like a two and a half year old." No tantrums but man, does this kid know how to be a little punk when he wants to! Kicking, hitting, smacking, spitting, demanding various things and bossing us around... He's trying everything he can think of to get just what he wants. Redirection is still a fantastic tactic, but I find myself having to just walk away from him sometimes because he knows just which buttons to push, the ones that make me want to jump off a balcony - ya know, 'cause he's a mini ME. I am pretty sure that the only person more stubborn than me is my kid. I knew this would happen!
