Old man, I really doubt you are going to be able to handle your youngest grandchild right now.

Although it should be entertaining to see you try.

Do you have kids? He is only two and his main goals are not mess things up, get into things he knows he is not suppose to get into and basically see just how much he can get away with.
I have no doubt that we are not screwing him up by making sure he behaves himself.

On the other hand, by preventing him from reaching his goals, you may be suppressing future goal-driven behavior which might serve him well. Why not construct more acceptable goals for him to reach? Hemlocker

I would not say all two year old. Our first son was great at two. My wife and I joked about the terrible twos at back then, because we were not seeing it.
So of course our second child makes up for it all. Two year olds really at not suppose to be able to figure out the child locks. That is not normal. He is very often too smart for his own good and ours.
All children are handfuls at some point though. But they are so worth it in the end.

Wow my little boy has only just turned two
and reading this is like you know him...I am now thinking all two year olds are like this (although my daughter wasn't) ...my jamie is a big handful...sometimes it gets a little too much...but we cope somehow...maybe because we have too...take care
