Lone Lefty



Since Maya was a baby, we have often thought that she was left-handed. She would eat with her left hand and pick-up toys with her left hand. Over the past few months, we have been noticing it more and more as she uses her fork with her left hand and brushes her teeth with her left as well. Just recently I noticed that when she gets her paws on our point-&-shoot camera she can only take a picture of herself. Why? Well, because the button is on the top right on the camera and by turning the camera around, so the lens it's facing her, the button is on the left side. If you ask her to turn the camera around to take a picture of someone else, she can't hold it stable because she has to press the button with her right finger. So, the moral of the story is....I am pretty sure Maya will be the only lefty in our small family. (She probably gets it from her Grandpa Williams and Great-Grandma Thompson.)

Yet another smart one in the family. Pretty sure Michael is left-handed too. Here you go again...you and Dayna even have a left-handed child. How funny is that! HA!

I have two lefties, it's so awkward trying to teach/show them anything being right-handed myself. But in my husband's family there are plenty of lefties to go around, it is definitely a dominant trait around here.
