Dr. Evil

Alex isn't much of a whiner like most toddlers are. Alex's whining was worse when he was an infant. That seemed like it was non-stop for months. Now his whining isn't really in high gear like it was then, but he's getting really MEAN. He pushes me pretty hard these days if I'm in his way. He laughs at me with this weird snicker if I correct him sometimes. Like, seriously, he might as well bust out with 'Bwwah-ah-hah-ha!' and rub his hands together. He'll do things that seem spiteful, like deliberately dumping a dish's contents just to see my reaction. Thing is, I don't react strongly yet except in surprise. Please don't tell me that this is all to see if I'll react more strongly than I have been.

Oh no, no, no.
