He's 2 and he just pulled two small plastic cups off the counter (nothing in them), looked at them, looked at me, I looked at him and told him, "Those are dirty, will you please put them back on the counter?" He smiled ear to ear, and threw them across the kitchen, then came up to me and held out his hand for me to smack it......I planned on smacking his hand for doing that but it's like he knew I was going to. Some kids RUN when they know they did something wrong and mom is approaching them saying, "no, you don't throw!"
Then after I smacked his hand, he ran off laughing.
What's your view on this? Or, would a normal, healthy 2 year do this? (Weird!)

probably, since he ran off laughing after you smacked his hand, he thinks this whole thing is a game. In my view he just wants your attention.

Well, I do find that a bit odd. But maybe he was just testing his boundaries. Then again, if that was his intent, why did he run off laughing after his punishment? Good question. I wish I could have been of more help to you on this one.

I agree with the african that exactly what he's doing, my daughter done things similar when she was younger. it seems to be a cry for attention so change your tactics and send him to his room to be alone for a few mins he'll soon get bored of trying to push your buttons. Good luck

There are a couple issues you should know. Smacking is not the best way to raise a child. One incident is not an indicator of personality type.
You really need to read up on child rearing. Children seek attention and reinforcement. Sociopaths don't know the difference between right and wrong.
Somewhere in between is my message....you need to read about child development and rearing.

ur kids is testing you, and ur falling for it. he already knows what ur gonna do. it's time to change tactics. Let him sit or stand in the corner. Don't let him stand for a long time though, but let him stay in the corner. They will test your limits all the time, so u have to stay ahead of them.

i think he was trying to get your attention,kids that age need to be kept busy,try reading to him,flash cards with colors or animals on them,coloring book,anything to keep his mind busy.kids that love to test their parents to see how much they can get away with.Don't smack his hand,spank him,you can break his hand if you smack it to hard.
