Yes, terrible threes --NOT twos!! Argh. I don't know who came up with it being the two's.

Sounds like he's reaching for attention. Would it be possible to make special time for him for a bit here and there during the day? Especially right before making a meal or changing diapers, nap, that kind of thing?

Definately let him know that it not ok to act that way (sounds like you are doing that). Try to catch him at the times he behaving and give him the attention then.

I had a little one start this up once and nothing seemed to stop it. Finally, I looked at them from the "sidelines" and hugged them. They didn't quite know what to think at first, but ever since they've been better to redirect.
