Babies are people, too. But we can't expect them to be adults. The adults have to be the bigger people. Danny tries so hard to win babies' hearts, and then he gets so devastated when his affections aren't returned by little ones. And why shouldn't he? He treated the baby as a person, and when the baby didn't treat him with courtesy or respect or even acknowledge his presence, we tend to justify the babies' actions because "they're babies." And we as adults are expected to pick up the pieces of our hearts and move on when a child ignores our hellos and gestures of affection. The other day Ashley just stared at Danny and gave him a weird look when he said enthusiastically, "Hello!" I think she thinks he's kind of freaky. But the man tries so hard. Every time he sees her, he tries. He theorized that maybe kids don't respond to him because he's not physical enough with them. So at the end of the visit, he picked up Ashley and swung her up and down while she said, "Boing!" She loved it, and started liking him more. When he stopped, she said what any other child would say in that situation... "Again!" And of course by this time, Danny was tired, so he stopped. That was the end of her affections, and now I'm sure it'll be back to weird stares.
