“Mommy, Daddy’s crazy, isn’t he?”
Seriously, there are far worse things he could spend it on.

Tom Cruise takes education seriously -- he's reportedly splashed out a whopping $1 million on classes for his two-year-old daughter Suri.
According to the Enquirer, Cruise and his wife Katie Homes are keen for the cute tot to have a rounded upbringing, so have decided to spend a fortune on private tuition.
A source reveals, "It doesn't matter what Suri is doing, Tom wants her to be able to do it better than any other child. All parents think their kids are special, but Tom and Katie firmly believe Suri is gifted.
"She is learning French and Spanish and has a tutor she sees once a week.
"Suri has shown a real love of dancing, so Tom and Katie are encouraging her as much as possible. She practices ballet, tap and modern dance for hours, nearly every day. She also has private gymnastics lessons and is learning soccer."
Katie is said to be convinced that socializing with older kids will benefit her daughter's development.
The source added, "Katie likes to have Victoria and David Beckham's sons around, since they are older. She thinks Suri will emulate what they do and learn even faster.
"Piano and violin lessons are on the to-do list. Tom and Katie just have to find time in Suri's busy schedule!"
How can you spend 2 million dollars on a two year old education, there are only so many coloring books you can buy!
That is one fine name, he is going to love it. Daniel is a good cover name until your son can take over the conservative movement and reveal himself.
The real expense isn't the tutor for Suri. It's getting tutors for all of her body thetans. You have to be fair to them.
All hail, Xenu. He's the alien leader any president could bow to.
I knew someone who was subjected to this gifted child stuff at a very young age. She committed suicide. Isolated case, but I’m just saying.
It’s their money and their choice. Well, maybe not for long.
The Obama/Ayers mandatory education camps will likely start in the next year or so. It will take some time to tell the difference from our current educational system, but the Obama/Ayers plan will be much more fully focused on “social justice”, the buzz word in most higher educational circles.
It’s a brave new world we are living in. Please pass the soma.
$$$$$
if I had his bucks all the chicks in this country would be fawning over me too. And I'm old and short.........
When a two year old is practicing anything for "Hours every day" then it is indeed poor little girl.
A half hour is fine. But does she have any time for play?
One of the advantages of home schooling is that the kid has lots of time for play.
This is the schedule of a 14 year old. And if she was 14 then bravo. She is not. She is two.
And she is TWO. Not ten. Not fourteen. Not sixteen.
Two.
That is wrong.
BTTT
Sounds like the little kid is going to be busy.
Too bad it’s not the business of being a little girl. I wonder if she is going to work at 7 years old.
I remember being two.
I would’ve LOVED that kind of exposure to dance and attention.
Cruise is an idiot. The child is two! At most she needs stories read to her by HER PARENTS and plenty of age appropriate learning activities punctuated by time outside to just play and then naptime.
Besides the fact, this is being reported by a GOSSIP site, I tend to doubt anyone is having their little girl practicing HOURS a day. It’s ridiculous.
Hey, it is his money. Wish I had a million to spend on my kid’s education. :)
Thank you for agreeing with me.
At two.
It's your story.

Put a 5’11” woman in the typical 4”-6” heels you’ll see these stars wearing on the red carpet, and that puts them at 6’3” to 6’5” - which is 8-10 inches taller than Cruise. And, it might partially be just that in Hollywood, women tend to be of the tall and slender type, so women who are shorter than him (especially when you include heels! If I put mine on, I’d have 4-5 inches on him!) would be kind of a rarity.
It would’ve been “play” and I would’ve loved the clickety tap shoes.
She’s not abused, she’s blessed.
Thank you! He and his brothers have big plans!
