...and to wait...

Children who can delay gratification--wait for their reward--will be more successful than their peers. Psychologists at Stanford University put pre-school children alone in a room with a marshmallow. The children were told that they could either eat the one marshmallow in front of them or wait, and receive two marshmallows to eat. One-third of the children were able to wait the full 15-20 minutes for the second marshmallow. (source)

I like marshmallows.

I know I said back in November that one need only to be, and to wait. Well, I've waited. My readership has waited (thanks, mom). And when the waiting was over, we waited some more. Waiting wasn't actually intended to be the point of that post, but it's a lesson we've all learned.

So, as a reward for waiting, here are two marshmallows. I mean, a few pictures. These are from the end of the year. I'll start rolling with 2007 the rest of this week this month.
