Things here have been OK. Sammy's behaviour lately has definitely reaffirmed for me that the 'spirited' temperament doesn't just go away! It actually doesn't bother me too much, but I do notice things about him that are much different than my daughter at this age.
He doesn't seem to know what to do with his anger a lot of the time. He's made great strides in this area, but he just seems to feel things so intensely, and doesn't know how to deal with it. His latest thing is when he gets frustrated, he very quickly screams something along the lines of 'I don't like you! You won't help me! I'm never going to play with you again!', and runs off crying to his room. The good news is that usually after a few minutes, he calms down, and comes back out as if nothing has happened. I think this is a good improvement - in the past when he got frustrated, he really needed us to help him calm down, whether this meant holding him, rocking him, etc. Now he's much better at calming himself, which is great.
He's also gotten into demanding toys/food, etc. at stores, and totally freaking out when he doesn't get it. This is why I currently don't bring him to the store with me
