A toddler doing a happy dance after trying ketchup for the first time is the sweetest thing you'll see today.

The Gaines family was sharing a meal at a local Five Guys restaurant near their home in Washington D.C., when Kier Gaines successfully got his daughter Emery to dip her fry in some ketchup.

Emery liked it so much she joined her dad in a "fry dance."

Video of the sweet moment was shared on Instagram where it has been viewed nearly 600,000 times.

"I just had to give her a little bit of encouragement," dad Kier Gaines told "Good Morning America." "We've been trying to introduce her to new foods. I'm a sauce guy so we wanted her to try ketchup."

Mom Noemie Guillaume said she loves the funny dynamic between Emery and her dad.
