Remember when little Suri Cruise was always clutching a blanket while being carried by Katie Holmes, or that short period of time when Tom Cruise justified his toddler daughter wearing kitten heels and real lipstick just like her mother does? Well, those days are long gone and Holmes has spent the last few years primarily raising her daughter in the bustle of New York City. When we see Suri out and about, now she looks age-appropriate but apparently some of her father's traits have been passed on to her.
Holmes turned up on Ellen DeGeneres's show Monday, Nov. 24, for a chat and they ended up discussing life with Suri. As it turns out, the 8-year-old is already a meticulous perfectionist and things do not go well if you mess up her agenda. Holmes was discussing Christmas in her house and how plans are already in place — or else.
"We are getting ready for Christmas in my house and my daughter's 8 years old and she already has her Christmas list ready. It's written out — she's very organized — and I start to get a little bit of a panic because you cannot screw up talking to Santa. You cannot miss any item on that list because if you screw that up that's years and years of hearing about it, and then probably therapy," said Holmes.
Is anyone really shocked that Tom's daughter would be a real stickler when it comes to details? Can you imagine if she actually lived with him full time and watched him over-structure every minute of every day?
Holmes likely brings a balance to Suri's life and nearly every paparazzi photo that turns up now seems to feature a pretty normal 8-year-old who looks happy and healthy. It certainly looks like Holmes's decision to divorce Tom has left her and Suri a whole lot happier, don't you think?
