Firstly, isn't this just a great moment? I'm so glad I caught it.
Taking these kinds of photos just makes me happy.

Now I have to tell the story behind it.
This was Week 32 of Project Baby, yes I know I haven't posted Week 30 or 28,
I just need to tell you this story now.... before I forget it.

Doesn't Mrs. D look stunning?
I told her about this space I had in mind for our next picture
and wondered if she might have a dress to wear for week 32.

She found one, and it was perfect.
The pictures turned out far better than I could have ever imagined.
One beautiful pose after another.
This shot was a little more candid than the others.
If you have ever had your picture taken by me,
you will know I spend a lot of time on my tummy.

I've also perfected many walrus seal maneuvers
to allow me to quickly move from my side to tummy to side
and sometimes I throw in a forward roll for good measure. I kid. sort of.

We had the whole huge space to ourselves,
and as we were ending our photo shoot, while I was on my tummy,
in my Sunday best, you know... a nice skirt and sweater set.
I saw a white clothed individual out of the corner of my eye.
I looked up and she took a moment before she said, "oh, you're taking pictures?"
From the floor, I said, "Yes I am."
Seeing as she was obviously a security guard, I was worried she might ask us to leave.
She said she had been watching me from an upstairs balcony,
and didn't know what was happening.
and didn't know what was happening.
She only saw a middle aged lady rolling around in a huge massive hall,
and somehow she did not see my camera.

And thinking about the space, I suspect, as she walked down the huge hall,
it was likely she saw only my flailing legs and skirt.

When I realized what I may have looked like, I let her know I was perfectly OK,
that I wasn't suffering from any sort of seizure or anything.
I told her it must have looked odd,
and could only imagine what she must have been thinking.
Still on the floor, I announced loudly in my best security voice,
and could only imagine what she must have been thinking.
Still on the floor, I announced loudly in my best security voice,
"Woman down in auditorium, I repeat woman down!"
The security guard without a word, turned around and left.

It was funnier if you were there.
Just look at the photo of Mrs. D.
I took the picture just as I finished my announcement!
I think I'm going to call this photo "Belly Laugh."
