Fitness entrepreneur Steph Claire Smith and Josh Miller became emotional as their two year-old son Harvey had his first day at daycare on Tuesday.
The Keep It Cleaner founder, 29, explained in a video shared to Instagram she was feeling emotional because she couldn’t drop off or pick up her son on his first day.
‘I’ve already cried once today. I’m not actually dropping him off which is probably a good thing but Josh is there now dropping him off,’ she explained.
‘I won’t be picking him up either but I can’t wait to see him tonight and hear all about it.’
Josh also shared a post, admitting he became emotional as he dropped Harvey off at childcare after being a stay-at-home father for two years.
‘After 2.5 years as a stay-at-home dad, I dropped my little man off for his first day of daycare today,’ he began.
‘This morning I went into the drop off feeling very positive about this new adventure for the both of us, and I know he will grow and learn so much.’
‘I gave him a hug and said “cya later little man, have fun!” – then I was sent on my way with a “bye Dadda” and a thumbs up.’
Josh continued to say as he turned away he tried to ‘hold his composure’ before he was overcome with emotions.

‘I was completely overcome with love, sadness and anxiety – guilty too in a way. I got home and the tears didn’t stop, the house was so quiet, and I missed him already,’ he continued.
‘I know I don’t usually post this kind of thing, but I wanted to share, in case this is something you needed to see or hear.’
On Monday, Steph also revealed how she was sent ‘over the edge’ after she missed her train home and wasn’t able to put Harvey to sleep.

‘Missed my train by 1 min which means I won’t be home for bedtime for H – which genuinely sent me over the edge as he starts daycare tomorrow so I’m feeling all sorts of emotions right now,’ she wrote.
Steph and her husband Josh welcomed their first child, baby Harvey, back in May 2021.
The pair married in November 2019 in a festival-themed ceremony along the Murray River, exactly one year after getting engaged at the same location.
