Katie Holmes Opens Up About Motherhood
11 03 2009
As a little girl growing up, Katie Holmes dreamed of becoming a Hollywood actress. She idolized Julia Roberts and Audrey Hepburn. Young Katie even had a crush on her future husband. After watching Top Gun, she had no doubt in her mind that she would grow up to marry Tom Cruise. She recalled, “I very confidently said, ‘I’m going to marry him one day.’ Why not? He’ll like me. I’m fun.”
The 30 year old actress revealed in the latest issue of Glamour that being a mother to 2 ½ year old Suri “has been the most amazing experience – in an instant you become strong. You have to be a little bit wiser; it’s the most important job in the world.”
Katie did admit that had suffered with first time nervous jitters. “During the first couple of days [with Suri], we would just sleep right next to her to make sure she was breathing. And I was constantly learning on the job, but Tom was very helpful and supportive,” Katie said.
Katie confesses that she and Tom are just a normal family. She revealed, “[We] play Yahtzee, board games, Scrabble. We grill; have pool parties.” In addition to watching family movies in bed – “recently Madagascar and Cinderella for Suri” – the family even put on their own productions. “We play ‘The Three Little Pigs’ and Suri is the Big Bad Wolf. [Tom] reads storybooks to Suri and we all laugh.”
So what’s next for the mother who has tackled TV, the big screen and Broadway? Fashion! Katie said she is working on a clothing line for children. “My friend Jeanne Yang and I have been working together. She’s got twin girls about six years old, and we both grew up with mothers who sewed. We started about a year ago, sketching different things, trying to find comfortable clothing for our daughters that is also pretty and cute.”
