My 2 1/2 year old is a handful. We went over to a friends house (now my friend has a 3 year old and a 2 year old boy) and she told me she had a perfect way to keep my girl off of the stairs and stacked two gates one of top fo the other.. Basically made a gate taller my her 6 ft tall husband. So, Im sitting nursing my baby on the couch and I hear an oh darn from the hallway. My daughter had climbed up and over both gates..<br /><br />Couple of days later she got into my nail polish and painted her tails and my baby's nails.. Yea, this kids going to drive me batty.

The clerk thought it was blood. We went back to that Michaels (in disguise) a few year later and there was a buggy still with red paint on it!! So embarrassing! When they are small, they physically 'wear you out', when they are teens, they mentally exhaust you!

My 3 1/2 yo daughter is the same way. Sneaky and quiet - She flushed her diaper down the toilet last week! I saw the suggestion about play dough, but my girl eats it. Actually she used to put everything in her mouth, lately it's just stuff like gum off park benches, or a half-eaten lollipop she found on the slide... I also caught her jumping off the top of her dresser the other day. Her older brother never did any of that, so I was completely unprepared. Now I am pretty much humbled. Which is a good thing, right? She IS getting better, so hang in there. There is hope! :) Wow! My 3 1/2 yo daughter is the same way.

I guess we could be sharing shoes because my 2 yr old is fast, quiet (or really loud), and in the "can do it myself" stage, too. If I don't let her do it herself, I am in BIG trouble.

She doesn't seem to get. <br /><br />G's two favorite phrases are "My do it." and "I don't know." Equally frustrating.<br /><br />But then there's the hugs and kisses, so it all evens out. :) I'm glad I'm not the only one whose 2-year-old says "My" instead of "I". She doesn't seem to get.

Did you know that the "2s" are the equivalent to your baby´s teenage years? Some kids just have less (or more) trouble with those, so take heart, with this as in any other stage, it, too, shall pass.

She's pretty easy so far, but she's an only child until October, so it's easier for me to focus all my attention on keeping her out of things.<br />Although she does give herself pedicures fairly regularly.

I think I enjoyed 3 1/2 more than 2 1/2 because they can understand and do more things- the independent streak gets stronger though! sounds pretty normal!
