Watch: Bethenny Frankel's Daughter Makes Rare TV Appearance

Bethenny Frankel's fans watched her endure several days of labor before giving birth to daughter Bryn in 2010.

Now, more than 14 years later, the Real Housewives of New York City alum's only child is marking a major milestone.

"And just like that… we enter high school," Bethenny wrote on her Instagram Sept. 3. "#daughterlove #highschool #firstdayofschool #whoworeitbest."

The 53-year-old, who documented her pregnancy and arrival of her and ex-husband Jason Hoppy's daughter on RHONY spinoff Bethenny Getting Married in 2010, shared classic first day of school photos with her teen, who wore a black tee, white ruffled skirt, white socks and white and pink Adidas sneakers. Bethenny, meanwhile, sported a floral top and matching pants.

"I remember watching you pregnant!" one user commented on Bethenny's post. "I can’t even believe she’s in high school! Where has the years gone!"

Another person wrote, "High school!!! What?? She was just a baby!!! Where’d the time go??? I feel old, lol!!"

She added, "We're already late for school on the first day of high school, new school, ninth grade. We're already late."

The reality star was then seen shouting "Let's go!" as Bryn's voice was heard in the background. Bryn was then shown getting into a car with the family's two little dogs following suit before being called home by Bethanny.

"Oh my god, they don't want her to leave!" she said. "Alright, guys, that's hysterical. Come on guys, we're going in. You're stuck with me."
