Naughty 2 year old?

My LB is 2. He is 3 in January. Over the last few weeks his behaviour is getting worse and worse. Nothing we do anymore is working. He continues to be naughty. He doesn't listen, chooses to ignore us. We have had his hearing checked.
We have recently moved home so was expecting him to be out of sorts but settled well to begin with.
His new thing is getting out of his bed and getting into ours. This is something he has never done before and he keeps waking his sister (5 months) up. The only time he has ever come into our bed is in a morning to 'wake us up' so after 5 minutes of fun we get up and start the day.
I'm not sure what to do any more. Has anyone got an tips or experienced a change in behaviour before ?

He’s little more than a baby and behaving normally for his age.

I often feel a little sorry for the eldest children in a family as parents can have unrealistic expectations of how they should behave and expect too much from them. I was like that with my first child.

If he wants to get into your bed maybe he is lonely or bored or something?

I laid with him for a bit while in my bed. He was just being mischievous. He has always bring cheeky but if we ever told him no like when he throws his toys. He normally stops throwing them. But lately he is getting worse. Even started hitting us which is something he has never done.
I'm not expecting him to be a perfect child, I'm just unsure where all this behaviour has come from as he has never being this bad.

I would just keep reminding him that its not nice to throw toys and why. If he keeps doing it I would calmly stop him if he wad hurting other people or damaging things.

Its hard when children are young as they don’t fully understand the consequences of their actions - and don’t think too much about how other people feel - but this will develop as he grows up.

My oldest child is 12 now and he used to be hard to manage as a baby - but as he grew up I could talk to him more and he started to understand why it was unacceptable to behave in certain ways and started developing empathy for people around him.
