Now This is Interesting

Over the weekend, I was visiting at my mom and dad's with the girls when my parents mentioned that Lyla looks like she's going to be a lefty. Mark and I have noticed this for awhile. She kicks with her left foot, throws with her left hand, and prefers to eat with her left hand. It is very consistantly this way, so we were guessing that she'll be left handed. My mom brought up the very interesting point that the only other lefty in our family is Bo, and for those of you who might remember, Bo and Lyla share the same birthday. Interesting coincidence. Bo, however, is more ambidextrous than complete lefty. Admitedly, my mom confesses that she probably had something to do with that. She said she always taught him to do things with his right hand (eating, writing, drawing, etc) even though he probably was born lefty, so he now eats, writes, and golfs right handed, but growing up he always had an issue with penmanship and grips his pen/pencil like a lefty would. He does everything else lefty (kicks, throws, etc), and they've concluded that he plays tennis equally well with both hands. So, while this lefty birthday connection is nothing more than coincidence, we find it a rather interesting one.
