Chay - that is exactly the time I have a challenge with. He is starving, I am trying to cook dinner, everyone needs attention...he wants to eat and to see everything that is going on. I'll have to keep that in mind as he gets older (and think about how to adapt it for him right now).
Thanks to all for responding...I realize some is typical toddler behavior and some is due to his more intense nature likely associated with being bright. I know I am not going to get the eye rolls here if I mention his current capabilities. I have learned to not talk about my kids'current interests with other moms with kids the same age.
