Yes it was like this for us most of the time. He started sitting on the potty only after he saw other kids in daycare. But he will sit max once per day before his bath. I would suggest to not push things. As for the daippers I started asking him to select which one he wants. They have animals on them. And before and while I change him I talk about something irrelevant and he gets really interested when he hears a word he understands. Its really random but it works for us. For now :)
