"He has his "bad" moments(i hate using that word in reference to babies - how about "mischeivious instead?) He will look right at me and do something he KNOWS he shouldnt do, all the while grinning at me."

I remember that stage - he's testing you and making a little develish game out of it. Being consistent is also important. Re-directing is best for that, when he goes to your desk. Maybe you can get him his own little play desk, with one of those baby laptop electronic gadgets and then tell him "this is mommies - don't touch and this is your desk"

"I saw a mom the other day at playgroup whose son hit another child, she promptly went over to him, slapped his hand, and said "no, we DONT HIT" and i thought well, isint that sort of silly? To tell a child we dont do something by doing wrong"

That is silly for that woman to do that -teaching a child not to hit by hitting him. I know it's a rollercoaster somes days and then they just melt you and you just love them to pieces. Best of luck
