Please note that he stops sobbing and grins the second you pick him up.
And let's also suppose that when this same child actually gets mad, he bites. He has bitten everyone in the family more than once and not even being bitten back has stopped him.
Oh, also suppose that this child has literally the most charming smile you have ever seen.
Would you be worried? Would you think, "I know 2 year olds are obnoxious, but this seems a little extreme. I mean, his siblings are actually afraid of him!" Would you start thinking that maybe it's time to find a therapist?
Or would you just assume that he's going to run a cult or a small African country someday and try to stay on his good side?
BTW, this all COMPLETELY HYPOTHETICAL. Of course no child of mine goes around hitting and biting people.

It's sounds like this hypothetical child is just experiementing with his boundaries. Testing to see if there will be consequences to his action.
Hopefully he will be quite sweet once he knows he can't get away with things. If not, the boy's Mom may want to watch some episodes of Super Nanny. :)
On the other hand, my 7-year-old daughter is still not very sweet to her younger brothers and sister. What do I know?
He sure does have a great smile though. :)
of course it's all hypothetical!
hang in there mom!! those tough kids need tough moms...and lots of love :)
if I ever hypothetically had a kid who thought he could run everyone around him, including the adults (he spoke to the manager of a pizza buffet when he was just 3...oops, I mean, hypothetically) I would try to channel all the energy, capturing the strengths of it and trying to lessen the weakness of it. and pray hard til 18 and then see what happens as he gets ready to leave for college...hypothetically of course....
