Two Year Olds

During the last couple of weeks my daughter has shown me over and over again that she has MAJOR attitude! She will tell anyone when they are getting on her nerves and will roll her eyes at the drop of a dime. Now don't get me wrong, she is the sweetest little girl at times. She loves and cares for other people but she has no tolerance for what she considers to be stupidity. How is it that a two year old knows how to catch attitude and when to catch it? My daughter is a trip. She can go from 0 to 60 in 2 seconds flat. I mean she can be sweet and turn that attitude up quickly. I am constantly having to tell her to stop doing something or to discipline her for doing something that I told her previously not to do. The one thing that I have found to be helping me to cope and understand with my toddler is reading. I have read books and articles online that have helped me to understand the reason my child is the way she is and how to deal with it.
