Normal 2B active: The normal 2 yo is busy exploring the world with their new skills of mobility, touch, taste, etc. Their attention span is generally limited to 1 minute per year of age. They are also used to getting what they want as soon as they yell for it. If this describes your kid, then s/he is totally normal.
