Peaches...it used to be common practice to force a naturally left handed child to write with his/her right hand. My oldest is left handed. Luckily, both she and her mother bite. I just put the crayons down in front of her when she was tiny and let her decide which hand was for her.
My mother was nearly ambidexterous, thanks to the nuns at Cathedral Grammar School. They didn't believe that her severely shattered right arm should stand in the way of her studies. It was "learn to use your left or get whacked with a ruler."
I think in this set of photos, it's quite obvious the little lad takes after his father. The obviously intense concentration and dedication to art.
*whispering*
I've met Mom, though, and I'm pretty certain she's the one that set up this whole thing.
It's nice to see that someone besides me let their kids have finger paints.
