[MUSIC PLAYING]
CIARA WILSON: We love singing together at home. And we do beatbox challenges.
[BEATBOXING]
[LAUGHS] Even our little baby Win, he gets in on it. I mean, he obviously can't really complete a whole session of beatboxing. But he will do a little-- we say boots and cats. Boots and cats. And boots and cats. And those little moments are so sweet and so fun.
I really am about family and my babies mean the world to me. They are always supportive of me. I've been blessed to do a lot throughout my career. But there are those moments that are really major on my list.
Like I dreamt of being on the cover of "Sports Illustrated." Like that was a big, big goal for me. And it's always sweet to feel their love, to see when they're proud of me. Because I hope that when they see me doing my thing, they can be inspired and know that, you know, if you believe in your dream, that's where it starts.
The most important thing is whatever they choose to do in their life, they've got to do it because they love it, one, and they can be great at it. That's always like my foundational rule. So whatever they choose to do, I just will keep on paying attention and like try to feed them what I can to help like them improve on whatever that is.
Sienna is-- she loves gymnastics. Like she actually has great like coordination when it comes to doing that kind of thing. Future can play piano with two hands. It only took him like literally two weeks to learn this one song. I posted it on my Instagram a while ago.

CIARA WILSON: Woo! I thought, oh my gosh, that's an incredible gift. Like I can't play the piano with two hands like that. And we love singing along songs together.
[MUSIC - CIARA WILSON, "TREAT"]
(SINGING) All my favorite treat, treat, treat, treat, treat, treat. How'd you get so sweet, sweet, sweet?
CIARA WILSON: When I got asked to create a song for this campaign for Rice Krispies Treats to celebrate family and the joys that come with family, I was excited. I thought it would be so beautiful for me to bring my babies in this song with me.
And it was just so sweet to see how proud they were after they recorded the song. And to see how focused they were in the studio, it was a special experience and a really great family bonding moment that we'll all never forget. We're just looking forward to the chapters ahead and the journey ahead. And it's been amazing.
