hand stand practice

EY has done her handstand practice for two days now. She usually did it with the assistant of some interesting "tools".

First practice scene. I arrived after hearing EY's few sharp screaming "ah, ah, ah, ah..." it was consisting off short but high pitch vocalization which usually meant that she was in trouble. EY managed to rotate the carseat 90 degrees and dived into it. She was doing her hand stand in the car seat: hands pushing down onto the bottle of the car seat, trying to avoid her face landing on her own hand and her legs successfully hanging in the air. She tried to let go of one hand to flap in the air hoping to regain balance and got back onto her foot. Failed. Well, I rushed over and pulled her out of the car seat and she was a bit shocked still by her own act.

Second practice scene. WY and I arrived also after EY's calling of help "ah, ah, ah, ah..." with a shaking voice this time. EY this time chose the stool to practice the hand stand. There was a horizontal wood piece between the legs of the stool. Somehow EY managed to dive her body above that wood between the legs of the stool and landed her hands on the floor with her waist supported by the horizontal wood piece and her legs in the air with pointed toes. Her face was read and she was trapped. WY and I laughed as we carefully extracted her out of the wood cage where she was hanging upside down. Guess what, after she came out of it, she was smiling! I asked her what was so funny and she just gave me a big blink to thank us for the rescuing.

Third scene. EY tried to push over the boxes that we used to block off the kitchen entrance. Instead, she bended over so much that she lost balance and got her feet hanging in the air and hands in the air with her tummy pressing onto the boxes. That happened right in front of my eyes so I stopped her continuation of possible dangerous hand stand act.

What do you think? She will be good for gymnastic in the future since she is finding ways to practice hand stand now :-P
