That's great, starting around the age of 7. But a 2-year-old is not capable of that. His world consists of doing things for no other reason than because someone (hopefully a parent) said so; belief in their higher power if you will. You can fill in the whys and the rationality behind it down the road, but if you haven't instilled a framework of behavior long before then, you'll never get the opportunity.
