They have been spending a ton of family time together recently. Just last month, Holmes posted photos of Suri and her cousins at a beachside carnival using hashtags such as #family, #love and #blessed.
Suri has also been a constant visitor on the set of The Kennedys – After Camelot, where her mom plays Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and directed the third episode of the TV miniseries.
“Katie actually made her a chair that said ‘Director,’ ” Jon Cassar, who directed the show, told WHO of Holmes’ efforts to make a special space for Suri on set. But, he adds, joking, “I taught her how to skip rocks.”
Holmes recently uploaded a throwback photo of her 17-year-old self to Instagram, and, at first glance, the then-rookie actress looked nearly identical to her little girl.
In a 2014 interview with PEOPLE, the All We Had actress admitted that she learns a lot as little Suri gets older.
“My patience has grown, but between 4 and 6 p.m. I mean, wow,” she said. “Between tickle fights and glitter art, I try to throw in some manners along the way.”
