Luna is growing up faster than Esteban because she has him as a constant reference and as long as they don't reach for the same toy at the same moment (which results in big dramas) she completely idolises him and duplicates his behaviour.
Like Esteban she is learning English & French at the same time without even knowing it. Sabrina always speaks in French to them while I always speak in English and even though Esteban is only 3, his French is already more extensive than mine. Anyone who thinks children need the education system to learn a second language is sorely mistaken.
Luna's grandmother always give her 'girly' presents but in truth she is more interested in racing cars around the track with her brother or flicking through books on her own, marvelling at all the pictures.
There is however always an excitement in the air when there are new boxes to be opened.
Esteban decided to have a go with Luna's present to see what all the fuss was about.
I comb the hair, right?
But what else does it do?
Enough of that. It's time to be crazy again!
Luna was a little overwhelmed by all the attention when it came to blowing out the candle but once she had tasted the cake there was no turning back.
Thankfully it was much less messy than last year, which looked like this.
The Steem Savings account
Some time ago I started an account for Esteban & Luna (@esteban-luna) and the rewards from posts like this one go into that account so that one day they may benefit from the inevitable rise of crypto like the rest of us.
If any of you generous people feel moved by this idea your donations would be most welcome! All funds which end up in that account are for them and them alone.

Long time no talk friend. Lifes been so busy. (As you know) Anyway, beautiful pictures and kiddos. A while back when you made up your kids' accounts, you inspired me to do the same, so i have an account @evans-adventures. He has done a few posts.(I think i may have posted from it too.) But he is old enough to earn by bloging, and it helps with his writting and hopefully once he gets into it more, his social skills in this new era we live in. For now i keep the money im saving for him in a seperate account so he doesnt see it. In hopes that him earning his own and watching it grow will get him into it more and prevent any sense of entitlement from shining through. I hope your weekend has went well. I send all my love and happy peaceful vibrations to you and your family.

Hello John! I certainly know that busy feeling. The kids are very demanding of my attention these days but am happy to give it while I can. My only trick to get stuff done remains to be getting out of bed long before them!
Am so pleased you followed your own flow on the savings account idea. I remember my father starting an account for me at a young age, but the $100 he gave me was still only worth $100 ten years later when I got my hands on it! With vastly less spending power. Had he put that money into crypto....
I can think of no better way for a child to improve their writing skills whilst earning a little crypto at the same time. When enough of us get our kids on here we will have to start some kind of group for them. The 2nd generation steem team!
Probably a good idea moving the savings to a different account. I will consider this myself. While I do enjoy always being honest with them, as you say, creating a sense of entitlement may not be helpful.
All the best to you & yours :)
