Katie Holmes seems to be enjoying life as a single mom and now wants daughter Suri to bond with other kids in her family she hadn't met before.

Since splitting from Tom Cruise in June, Katie has been making regular trips back to her home town in Toledo, Ohio, and has been introducing her 6-year-old to members of the extended family, according to RadarOnline.

Katie is said to be determined to giving her child as normal an upbringing as possible, which includes having play dates with her young cousins.

"The purpose of Katie's trip with Suri to Ohio was to introduce Suri to all her cousins," a family insider told the site. "As the youngest of five, Katie loved growing up in a big family, so she wants exactly the same experience for Suri.

"She worries that Suri doesn't get enough exposure to kids her own age, and Katie wants her to be brought up in a similar environment to which she was raised in.

"It'll take some getting used to for Suri, because she always gets things her own way. At first, she wasn't thrilled with the idea of sharing some of her toys with her cousins when they all played together.

"But soon enough, Suri won them all over with her bubbly personality and they can't wait to have her visit again."

"They'd only ever seen Suri in magazines and in family photos, so they felt extra special to meet a celebrity their own age."

A moving truck was seen outside Katie and Tom's $30 million former home in Beverly Hills when her belongings were finally taken out of mansion.

Suri is set to start her first day of school in September, and both Tom and Katie will be at the New York Catholic School to help her settle in.
