Jack is really starting to develop a very distinct personality. He is extremely strong willed. When he wants something, he is determined to get it. If he wants to figure out how an object works, he keeps at it until he figures it out for himself. If he wants to go somewhere and something is in his way, he won't go around it, he forces himself, even if the item in the way is too heavy for him to move on his own. As a result, we have a lot of screaming in frustration from this kid. He is tenacious. Now, I am glad that he has all of these traits; they will serve him well in life. I can see him as an adult being ambitious and driven. As great as this will be for his adult years, I can see his toddler years are not going to be very easy on us. Karen told us the kid is doomed because his parents are so competitive and stubborn that there was no way Jack was going to escape inheriting those traits. Nice. No wonder I am always exhausted by the time Stuart gets home from work. Jack's current obsession? His diaper. He has decided he doesn't like wearing clothes anymore and the diaper is included. He takes it off all the time. Right now, I have to ensure he is wearing pants because he hasn't yet figured out how to get those off. Sheesh!

They are great traits to have, just frustrating right now.
Evan also loves to take his diaper off - I have resorted to duct tape.
I think those qualities will serve him well later in life. It may make for some interesting teenage years, but just know that as an adult he will be driven and always be able to get the most out of life.
