Lefty

As time passes, the chances of Braylen staying a lefty get greater.  A lefty?  How in the world did this happen?  I don't know any family member on either side that is a lefty; isn't that a recessive gene?  It HAS to come from somewhere?!  Apparently Jason's grandfather was left-handed.  Mystery solved...

So yikes!  What does this mean?!  Jason is very concerned about how he will teach Braylen to play sports.  I didn't think much of his concern until I brought out the golf clubs today and showed him how to hold it.  He promptly flipped directions and hit it left-handed.  Ok, I get it Boo.  This means the driver he was using is facing the wrong direction




I can tell Braylen has his daddy's good genes of athleticism.  Just look at the way he is standing and aiming at the pin; that's an All-American in the making!  Can I point your attention to my daughter.  Look at her line it up nicely in the top one, then pound that puppy into the street.  That is my girl; hitting the ball off course.

He throws left-handed, he kicks with his left foot.  It appears it's not going away.  A lefty athlete is "the money maker".  Maybe there is hope Jason and I can attend a "big school" vicariously through our highly recruited, (scholarship given) athletically talented son.

It's a right-handed world and my boy has right-handed parents and grandparents.  What do we need to know about having a lefty?  Obviously he needs different golf clubs.  What else?!  To be continued...

Uncle Sam's a lefty! Plays guitar right handed, but kicks left footed and writes with his left hand. It's all good! He even had lefty golf clubs :)
