Interesting about the handedness, polarbear. Dd came out as ambidextrous on all tasks. She's been dominantly right handed since she was 4 months old. We were surprised at how early she showed dominance considering all the left handed people in her family tree and how DH are fairly balanced

I'm nearly both footed - I'll take corner kicks with my left foot if from the right side in soccer - and I spike with my left but serve with my right in volleyball. DH is similar.

When I was bored silly in 9th grade, I taught myself to write with my left hand. I even handed in some homework that way until my Spanish teacher accused me of having someone else do my homework.

Now I reserve my left-handed writing for notes from the oft-delayed tooth fairy.
