When two year old cries a lot she gets blotchy spots all over her face is that normal?

Not unusual: Skin blood flow is very variable in small children. While as adults we vary our blood flow much more through changes in heart rate and blood pressure, kids still use their very "flexible" blood vessels to do this. So when they are crying and emotional, they can shunt the blood flow to their skin surface very easily by dilating their blood vessels, and thus the red face. Totally normal!
