Lefty

Toby's a lefty. Rob and I are not. Rob's parents are both lefties, but for the most part, we don't have that many lefties in the family. I am just now noticing the need for the lefty-scissors, and who knows what else. He's playing around with his guitar upside down (there wasn't a left-handed kids guitar at ToysRUs).

I found it interesting how many famous people are lefties...
