Is this normal for a two-year-old boy?

It's not normal as such but it's not uncommon.

I find too many parents baby their children, especially their first ones. I've seen 4 year olds being carried from the car on my driveway to my front door and then had the parent try and pass the child to me. I'm not carrying a four-year old and often say, put him on the ground and he can walk into the playroom.

Lots of little ones come not being able to do the basics - hold a bottle, pick up food and put in their own mouths, it's frustrating for sure.
