Toddler Is Super Excited To See Dad After First Day Of School

First days of school can be a roller coaster of excitement, nerves, and a little scary as we're nudged out of our proverbial nests an into the world of academia and socialization.

Surely you'll remember your first day of school outfits (picked at first by Mom or Dad, and then on your own in later years). Those bagged or boxed lunches packed with snacks and a sandwich. The neat backpack with the panel of a character from your favorite childhood series. And all those new books, new toys, new friends — and maybe a couple of bittersweet tears — that await you just beyond the double doors of the school's entrance.

All of those things are great. But the best part? Getting picked up at the end of the day — or so the toddler in the video below would you have you believe.

As the video's description notes, this particular day "was her first day away from Mom and Dad." And smart was her daddy for turning on the camera to film her reaction, because all he has to say are three words before she takes off screaming across the room in what is truly one of the most adorable things you'll likely watch today. See for yourself below.

And if this had you smiling wide (it certainly had that affect on us), SHARE it with your friends on Facebook!
