From Parents January 2010, section "as they grow: 2-3 years":
When your child hits these years, his [her] behavior may become something of a challenge -- no matter what his temperament. Kids this age can be demanding, cranky, and exhausting... So be prepared for meltdowns and bratty behavior and keep your cool; if you're tense, your kid will pick up on it and get more riled up.
Everyone has told me this, but for some reason seeing it in writing kind of hit me over the head.
As I am typing this, Kathryn is singing Old MacDonald at the top of her lungs and jumping on the trampoline all while also yelling no to Andrew because he found her sippy cup. Keep cool Mommy, just keep cool.
