E is talkative and says "hi" and "I love you", usually in the same tones I always use when I talk to him. A couple weeks ago he was happily talking with me and he suddenly got very emotional - pouty lip, teary eyes and shaky voice included. He also loves his books. His arms and legs will flail the entire time but he keeps his eyes focused on the pages as long as we're reading.
@jemomma I have no experience with potty training yet, but MIL shared the story of how DH potty trained and it's pretty funny. She tried for months to potty train him and he just wasn't having it. He was motivated by nothing, just did not care. She gave up and put him back in diapers. Finally, one day he asked her why he had to wear diapers. She told him it was because he wouldn't pee in the potty. He said "oh," took the diaper off, went potty, and never needed another one.
That's crazy! Unfortunately, I tell DD1 this all the time because she absolutely hates wearing diapers, but refuses to use the potty. I tell her everytime she fights me that she doesn't have to wear them if she uses the potty, but it makes no difference to her, lol. When I trained DS we had a similar situation, we attempted at 2.5 years with him (DD1's age now) with no luck so we gave up until he turned 3 and then it only took a few days. We will probably just give up for awhile :/
What really annoys me is that DD1 is in sposies and I really just want to switch her to cloth for the remainder of her diaper time, but H doesn't want to invest the money even though we will still get to use them when DD2 gets older...ugh! I hate the disposable diapers, they leak all the time!
