Righty or Lefty

During Josiah first t-ball game this morning (actually it was more like a practice), I had a good laugh watching his coaches try to figure out if he was right or left handed. They would ask each player his/her hand preference and then proceed to show them how to stand, hold the bat, and swing. When Josiah's turn came, they asked him the question and he answered, "both." They had him swing both ways and not so easily determined he should bat left handed. Now we have had the toughest time over the last few years trying to determine his hand preference, but after he began writing with his right hand, we thought we had it figured out. Although, he still does some things just as well with his left hand, liking throwing a baseball. Seeing as I spent $20 on Friday on a right-handed baseball glove, we will continue to foster that right-handed throw :), but looks like we have a switch hitter on our hands.

Hey Jenn, as you may know I also have a 6 year old boy that is just finishing Kindergarten and just started T-ball. Oh what fun and so many laughs!! Dylan is a lefty but can switch hit, I am also encouraging that! His coaches were a little confused by that. One time he goes up to hit lefty, then it's righty. If Dylan has his way maybe someday our boys will meet in the World Series, Red Sox/Yankees! ;-) The boys seem so much alike!
Ohyeah, I am really enjoying reading your blogs, of course my husband is getting sick of me being on the computer ;-)!
