My DD7 was using both hands in writing and finally settled on being a leftie 4. I am a leftie as well as my Dad and brother. When it comes to sports (like golf or baseball) I hit right handed because I like my dominant arm in the back for more strength in hitting....DD7 is the same way. I can switch hit but just prefer hitting right. I thought being ambidextrous was good thing because you are using both sides of your brain more.....I guess I was wrong. My DD7 can write mirror image like it's completely natural. In 1st grade (before she tested into GT) she drew a picture of herself looking into a mirror that blew everyone way. When we got her test scores back showing that she scored in the top 1% it made us understand better (aka aha moment) how a 6 year old could draw a picture like that. DD7 is very artsy...she can pause Phineas and Ferb on the TV and draw them perfectly in pen with no mistakes.
