Absolutely not. I mean, she's only 18 months, but...no. She's a 10 blueberries in the mouth-kinda girl.

Keep us posted on your success! Our LO is only a year old, so it's probably too early for us to do much at this stage (she still mostly doesn't understand English, after all). But from the beginning we always changed her diaper before feeding her...in the morning, after naps, etc. Sometimes she'll fuss and make the sign for "more" on the changing table, but we never give in. She knows we aren't going to skip or hurry through a diaper change just because she's impatient. She has to wait, and she deals with it fine 90% of the time. A very small step in the right direction, but it's been hard for us to brainstorm other ways to teach her patience at this young of an age.

Yes, as far as not eating candy immediately goes, he's a pro. (I'm not sure that's a perfect measure, but I suppose it's the basic litmus test because of the marshmallow test, right?) Anyway, he got a lollipop at a store and told the cashier that 'This is for after lunch!' without any prompting. Lunch was a couple hours away and he didn't mention the lollipop again until lunch was done.

@mrbee: I'm curious about the workbook. Tell us more about it, please!

The marshmallow test has a lot of flaws...and I thought it was more about how your child is that correlates with some findings, not teaching them to be a certain way?
