Babies are only entertaining if you're related to them. Unless they pee or throw up on someone at an inopportune time. Then they're pretty alright.

Toddlers are pretty cool once they start talking. I had a kid ask his dad if he farted while we were discussing a mortgage on their home. Really broke the ice.

Kids are pretty fun once they stop making GBS threads them selves. I think I'd like to have a kid but I wish they could live in a pod and be sleep-learning or in some baby-matrix until they're out of diapers.
The same goes for dogs. Dogs are great but house training sucks.

Yeah, that's really cute. You can really see the cogs spinning. Not really hiding or moderating how they feel or express themselves is just incredibly endearing, for the most part. The immediate, genuine reaction to basically everything is just great, and I think something it is healthy for most people to be around to some extent whether they have kids of their own or not.

Adults can't and shouldn't act that way, but a child-like perspective is still really refreshing and rewarding, I think.

You can't communicate with a baby in the same way that you can with a toddler, of course, but there is still a lot of stuff happening with communication. I might mistake you for someone else on this, but if I remember correctly, you might have mentioned not being great with non-verbal communication once? Babies might be less "fun" partially because of that, if that happens to be the case, since communication will rely on reading facial gestures and mimicking more than verbal communication..

Other than being cute, I think that one thing that is cool about babies is how they learn and grow really quickly, and it is just neat to see such rapid development. Babies have to learn a ton of stuff before they are able to talk.

As far as communication goes, milestones that come before talking would be stuff like smiling, laughing, mimicking behavior, understanding increasingly complex games, words and phrases, beginning to emphasize more with their surroundings. Non-communication milestones develop rapidly, too, like crawling, rolling, more complex gesturing. A lot of stuff happens prior to talking, really, and an inability to be able to communicate by talking isn't the same as not being able to communicate, at all.

I don't mean to be rude with the "non-verbal" communication part, but imo it makes a lot of sense for people, people like goons, who might not be the greatest at picking up on non-verbal communication, to have trouble interacting in a way that feels meaningful to them with kids that can't talk yet.

I think there are circumstances in which it would benefit society/relationships if people felt able to behave this transparently - at least on occasion. Raw honesty is only a bad thing if the person spewing it is, well, spewing it. By which I mean there was never ANY emotional or intellectual maturation past toddlerhood.

I like babies because the range of emotions displayed on a human being's face correlating to "Holy poo poo, are those KEYS?!" is magical. I do like toddlers and little kids, though. They're very fun. Only age group of children I hate are teenagers. It's the reason I could never be a mother.
