Doughnut Math

Karston didn't want to eat breakfast this morning, even though we made banana-blueberry-guava pancakes shaped like Mickey Mouse. (Cale ate two pancakes.) Finally Karston said he would eat doughnuts, so Daddy gave him some. A while later, Karston asked me for more doughnuts. Since the goal is calories, I opened a new four-pack of miniature doughnuts for him; since he had already had some although I didn't know how many, I only put two in his elephant cup from the circus. Karston looked in and said, Mommy, that's not enough. I want four doughnuts. Put in two more!

That's 2 + 2 = 4 right there; pretty good concept!
