On the home front, remember me mentioning that Christopher's broken wrist might provide the chance for him to discover whether or not he's left-handed? After 3 days back in school, he's starting to really wonder about it himself. The left-handed writing is slow of course (no practice at it), but it is immediately more legible than his right-handed work (the cursive may be about the same, but the right-handed cursive was pretty good. The printing was chicken-scratch-awful).
Now you might be thinking, why is this coming up when he's 10? Shouldn't this have settled out by now?
Well, no. There's a downside to the high level of ambidexterity that runs on my father's side of the family, which is that the non-dominant hand is so good at doing most things that if you're LEFT-handed it might take you awhile to realize it. Most of the world is right-handed, so you'll try that first, and if it seems to work then you'll probably assume you're right-handed. If you are, no harm done. But if you're not...
When he was nearly six, Christopher found out that he was left-eye dominant, which usually correlates to the dominant hand. So we'll see how this goes. I'm hoping that by the time the cast comes off in 5 weeks, he'll know for sure which he is.
