Terrible Two's Already?

I'm not sure what happened on his 2nd birthday but since that very day Elijah has been impossible. He now thinks that playing in the toilet is fun and is completely soaked when I find him. Yuck!!!! At the store the other day he decided that I didn't go the way he wanted to go so he threw a huge temper tantrum. He started hitting me until I pushed the cart away from me and I just let him cry until he decided he had had enough. Elijah also now pulls the chairs up to the counters to get things he wants...such as the crayons in the cabinets which are there so he can't get them. I found him standing on the counter as he was trying to get the crayons out. Yes, my heart stopped at that very moment thinking about what would have happened if he had fallen. And then this wonderful job he did on himself and the piano. Argggg. Lucky for him it was a washable marker. We can't leave him alone for a minute!!!
His eyes are closed in the picture because he has decided that he doesn't like the flash on my new camera and so refuses to have them open as soon as he sees the camera come out.
