Left Handed Preschooler

I am starting to get the idea that my 4yr old is left handed. Of course, I have had indications in the past, but never really paid much attention to it. Now that we are working on things like handwriting and lettering, it's becoming a more frequent question. If anything, he may be ambidextrous He can write and eat with his right hand, but often chooses to use his left. Both hands are very shaky when writing or tracing lines, and he ALWAYS plays the guitar the other way 'round. There are some simple tests you can do to see if your child has a left-handed preference and I am thinking I will do some of these throughout the week... just to see :)
