My mother in law is left handed and both of her kids ended up right handed. I have 3 right handed children, but from the minute they are born until they start to write she is always looking for signs of them being left handed. It drives me nuts.

My SIL is a southpaw, my brother is a rightie. With my first nephew, he was pretty ambidextrous for the first two years of his life, even once he started writing. It wasn't until he was almost 3 that he started showing a very strong preference towards his left hand. It was always funny to watch the entire family, though, when he picked up crayons or pencils. It's like we all held our breath, hovering around him to see which side he'd take. Needless to say, my SIL is very pleased with herself, and now we wait to see how the youngest turns out! We have fun with it, though.
