If 2-year-old Winston’s adorable giggle doesn’t steal your heart, his sweet little dance moves will! He’s a cheerful little guy with an irresistible personality, always eager to share his happiness with everyone--even strangers. Whether he's swaying to music, singing his heart out, or riding his tricycle, Winston brings smiles wherever he goes.
