He gets this cute little crazed look on his face when he's doing stuff too. Where is my little angel going?! I don't remember my daughter doing this!
Originally Posted By Manfried Ah, the terrible twos. Wear a helmet. Oh, and have your video camera and photo camera at the ready. It may be a pain, but when you look back you will laugh and tell stories about it.

Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance He hasn't even done that, he hits himself when he's having a tantrum though. Another funny thing is he's addicted to the Bugs Life movie right now, and he mimics all of Hopper's lines and body movements. None of the other characters, just mean old Hopper. lol I thought it must make him feel tough. He makes his voice deep and says "let's ride!" But sounds more like "wet's wide" It's cute as hell.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 With our first DD we called it the "terrible 18 mos" as she started it early Our second child (a son) was an angel. Who knows why they are doing it but it sure is tough when it happens. We stopped the flooding of the bathroom by immediately taking them out of the tub when the waves started. They soon realized that it just wasn't going to happen anymore. Or you could put "slidingdoors" on the tub
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance I never really had any trouble with our daughter aside from the occasional mood swing. And darnit, I removed the sliding doors on our tub when we moved here to make more room for me and them in the tub. I guess I wasn't planning ahead : )

Originally Posted By DAR I'm not a parent but I would just be a little careful with banging, throwing, hiting, biting, etc. He could really hurt someone or even himself. And maybe its something he'll grow out of but just be careful with it.

Originally Posted By beamerdog I used to say that one of my son's goals was to destroy the City of Wilmington before he was five. I'd definitely watch the hitting and biting. Under no circumstance should he hit or bite someone else. My kids experimented when they turned three. Hm, how many micromachines will fit in the slot of the vcr?
Originally Posted By csgoofygirl My son put bristle blocks (kinda like Legos) in our VCR. Good times! He turns 25 tomorrow. It's funny now, not so much back then.
Originally Posted By RockyMtnMinnie My son put post-it notes in the printer. You can not clean out a paper jam of post-it notes. He stuck pennies in the vcr and the computer. Rocks in the vacuum cleaner. Broke the tv. Broke the stereo. That's just what I can remember off the top of my head.
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance lol these are funny stories. He's so sweet a lot of times. He's totally a mommy's boy, he's just getting a testosterone jolt, I think, and getting a bit destructive, lol. I'll post a pic of him waiting for the Riverboat at DL soon.
Originally Posted By velo my son loaded the floppy drive with nickels. I'm thinking he thought that some sort of prize would eventually pop out... But we servived the toddler years. The teen years I'm not so sure of....
