A Las Vegas mother and father have gone viral for their reaction to their son's first day of preschool.
In a TikTok video, Mary Harper captured the moment she and her husband, Samajee, dropped their three-year-old son, Isaiah, off at preschool for the first time.
"Leading up to the first day, I knew that I was going to be emotional, so I made sure that Isaiah started on a day that worked for both my husband and me to attend drop-off," Mary told People. "Isaiah was so excited to go to school. He was practicing his teacher’s name, and we went over typical school rules. I felt very emotional as I was getting him ready for school. Sam was also emotional, but was holding it together very well before we dropped Isaiah off."
Video shows the Mary and Samajee in tears after the drop-off.
"I am always recording for both TikTok and YouTube, and I wanted to show what it’s really like when you send your child off to school. We were both crying so I started recording, but I didn’t know that he was THAT emotional," Mary said.
At one point during the video, the mom appeared to laugh at her husband for sobbing over their son's first day.
"It was so cute, but also so funny so I couldn’t help but start laughing at both of us being so emotional," she said.
Mary said her son ended up having a great first day.
"Isaiah told me about how much he loved the playground and his new teacher," the mom said. "He was so ready to go back again."
