It was an exciting day for Today on Tuesday when they introduced someone very special to the team.

Chief meteorologist, Dylan Dreyer, brought along a sidekick who appears to be following in her footsteps. 

The mom-of-three's oldest son, Calvin, five, was able to tag along with his famous mom to record Today's radio show.

Today XSM posted a snapshot of Dylan, Al Roker and Sheinelle Jones in the studio with Calvin by their side. 

Dylan shared the photo and wrote: "Trying to make spring break fun for Cal! He asked if he can come back every time I do the radio! #Repost @todaysxm."

She captioned one post: "My whole family has finally met each other and it’s like we never skipped a beat. Home is where the heart is and our home was in Oregon the last few days. What a special trip for everyone! Miss you all already."

Dylan also revealed it was the first time her brother had met her two youngest children due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

She accompanied her family to watch her brother get promoted to Chief Master Sergeant in the Air Force, flanked by his wife, son, and superiors.

"***PROUD SISTER ALERT***," she added to a social media post as a disclaimer alongside her tribute to him. "My brother was just promoted to Chief Master Sergeant in the Air Force…the highest rank for an enlisted member. 

"He has sacrificed so much and always puts others before himself. And he's a pretty bad ass boss. I cried so many proud tears for him receiving this honor and I'm so lucky to have been here to witness it with my kids. What a role model he is for my boys."
