The video, posted by YouTube user [xxMIA METALxx](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK4anqIRN51sy3KOwa1r6bQ), starts with the dad filming his baby daughter wandering around her classroom before she realizes he is there. He then walks over to the half-open classroom door where he calls out to her, “Hey, baby girl.” The little girl gets excited right away and runs over squealing to see her dad. She was clearly ready to head home for the day. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4031851/little-girls-reaction-to-seeing-dad-after-first-day-of-school/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4031851/little-girls-reaction-to-seeing-dad-after-first-day-of-school/"},"headline":"Watch This Little Girl's Priceless Reaction to Seeing Her Dad After the First Day of School","datePublished":"2015-09-11T19:35:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:24:38.008Z","description":"She's more than a little excited","url":"https://time.com/4031851/little-girls-reaction-to-seeing-dad-after-first-day-of-school/","keywords":["Newsfeed","School","Parents","Daughter","Family & Relationships"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4031851/little-girls-reaction-to-seeing-dad-after-first-day-of-school/","name":"Watch This Little Girl's Priceless Reaction to Seeing Her Dad After the First Day of School"}}]}] ```
