memo to me

No candy as math manipulatives.

We were using an M&M Math book for a fun math time today - I had M&Ms in a bowl and the girls were counting out this many red ones, that many blue ones, etc. Posy was being careful about it. Sunny kept starting to eat them, except that she needed them for the little project we were doing. I turned around to pick up the baby and when I was back literally less than a minute later, Sunny had picked up the whole handful and crammed it into her mouth. No more M&Ms for her today! She had to watch Posy do the assignment by herself, and didn't get extras at the end.

Still learning self-discipline and restraint. Noted. I know chocolate is good, but come on.
