Baby Celebration Los Angeles crowd for Signing TimeRachel Coleman speaking at Baby Celebration Los Angeles
The trip to Los Angeles, CA was short but sweet. I spoke at Baby Celebration. It was great to meet so many fans and hear each family’s story. People always preface their story with, “I’m sure you’ve heard this a thousand times”, but honestly, it never gets old for me. I haven’t heard their story a thousand times. I haven’t heard your story a thousand times. I haven’t heard the same story a thousand times. I hear new stories each day. New testimonials come in daily, new reviews on Amazon.com. New crayon pictures in the mail. I hug different parents and take pictures with different children at each event. It’s awesome! There is nothing cooler to me than having a 3 year-old kid yell my name and run up to me for a hug. Nothing better than a parent saying, “My kid LOVES you!” Nothing better than 11 year-olds who insist they have to watch it with their younger siblings, but perform the Silly Pizza Song better than I do. Nothing cuter than a star-struck 5 year-old. Nothing sweeter than having a parent tell me how their child has defied the odds; has communicated since 7 months; can out communicate their “typical” peers… has been placed in the least “special-ed” preschool because they know their ABC’s, can count to 20, know all their colors, family members, animals.. you get the point. I fly home from these events smiling, happy, peaceful, and hopeful, saying, “I LOVE MY LIFE!!!!”
