So, keeping them out of the public as much as possible, just feels right and normal to us. They are not aware. We are definitely just mom and dad to them, and we're trying to keep it that way as long as possible. They haven't shown any interest in that, so we haven't really had that conversation yet. It's not like we have our own movies playing or anything like that! We are just mom and dad, so we are having fun just being that to them."
