If you're not familiar with the marshmallow test, you're not spending enough time on youtube. There are several great examples of this experiment available to watch, but we recommend Elder Uchtdorf's explanation of the experiment and the lessons we can learn from it.
We decided to perform our own marshmallow test on our resident 4 year old, Henry. We substituted 2 mini-marshmallow for 1 big one, and he wasn't in a closed observatory but we hope this doesn't invalidate the results. Here's what happened:
This probably doesn't qualify him for the top 30% cited by Elder Uchtdorf, but at least he didn't eat the marshmallows before we left the room. We think he's still above average.

We definitely need to do this!
So funny!! This video just made my night...again...I've watched it about 4 times, and just made Decker watch it. We're totally trying this...
That is hilarious! I need to try that with my 4 year old. So, since he didn't completely chow down the marshmallows, did you give him more?
