He can turn the pages of books and is good at recognizing and saying the names of objects when ‘reading’ books.



When Dayton hears music, he shakes his body along to the beat and sings along if he knows the words. He can hold his own bottle and drink milk and water from it. He can pick up small objects with his hands and give objects to other people when he asked.

Dayton loves to greet his caretakers by opening his arms for them to pick him up and hold him. Dayton is social with his friends and can often be found chatting and playing with the other nearby children. When another child does something wrong, he will tell the caretakers. When he wants milk or biscuits, he will ask.
