Why are two year olds so cute?

If they weren't they won't survive for very long!
Cuteness that I witnessed today:

1. Jumping into the clean clothes, yelling "where's Slater", then popping out to make his sister laugh
2. Running full tilt across the lawn with both arms out stretched, yelling "watermelon"
3. Sitting down next to and asking a total stranger (grandpa type) to read his transformer book at B and N today
4. Mastering hopping today and then showing off for dad by hopping all the way to his bedroom tonight for story time
5. Wanting to dance naked in the first big rain of the spring

And then the not so cute:
1. Taking the clean clothes, throwing them on his sister, yelling "where's baby", then knocking her flat - he was trying to include her in the fun, so how do you explain to him that now it isn't fun?
2. Slipping past the **kind** door holder at B and N and dashing for the parking lot - who holds the door open for a two year old????
3. The shrieking that went on every time that he hopped, which woke the baby from her nap :(
4. The screaming and thrashing of his little naked body when I drug him in from dancing - he had goose bumps he was so cold!!

So ... it is a good thing that he is cute and the cute outweighs the not-cute, which is always the truth when I sit down and think about it.
