My brilliant answer:
Well, as the youngest in my family, when my siblings brought home friends, i hated it when they acted differently towards me than my family and their friends. My advice would be to be yourself. Don't try to put on an act. After all, that's why they want to hang out with you, to get to know you. Just be yourself and have fun! Hope i helped!

I have a lot of experience with children as I work with all ages of kids. My advice would be just to be yourself. It really is no different then meeting an adult for the first time. For example, if you are a shy person when first meeting someone, then you probably wouldn't be hamming it up and being the life of the party in the beginning. Like adults, children can sense if a person isn't being themselves and it will make them uncomfortable. There is no need to be the clown around children if that is not who you really are. Lot's of people have wonderful relationships with children and do not have this type of personality at all.

It's pretty simple, don't try making them laugh. I'm actually incredibly good with kids but not with making them laugh. Like you said, they either end up staring at my funny faces like i'm an idiot, or end up crying because my faces scare them. Just try playing games with them and be more like a friend instead of a baby sitter.
