Left or Right - Which is Right?

When will I know whether Naomi is a righty or a lefty?

Well....that's the big question for me....cause during the past few months...I noticed that Naomi beggining to favor one hand over another for things like eating and reaching. I tested her many times, for example: when I gave her biscuit she will use her left hand to grab on the biscuit and then will eat using her left hand....so instead of letting her to reach out for the biscuit, I put the biscuit in her right hand. She changed the biscuit to her left hand before putting the biscuit into her mouth.....haihhz....BUT, BUT sometimes she do eat with her right hand....so there's still hope for her to change....i hope...

I read somewhere that a minority of kids remain ambidextrous, meaning they use both hands equally, until kindergarten. Some children use a dominant hand for eating and writing but the other hand for throwing a ball. Handedness is largely genetic. Only about one in 10 people are left-handed, but if both parents are lefties there's a 50 percent chance their child will be, too. Tjun and me are both right-handed....

Many people advised me "Don't try to change her inborn preference, Forcing her to use the non-dominant hand can create a lot of frustration and expend energy that could be going toward improving skills and learning" I'll keep that in mind...

Some pictures to share....

more independent now.....when drinking milk

using her left hand to hold the bottle...and right hand to support the base
