Making progress

For as confident and as hard working as Andy can be, it can be difficult to get him to try certain things....like writing his name. Last week he got in trouble at Speech because he started goofing off when he got frustrated.
However, this week has been a different story.
Prior to yesterday he had only come home with attempting to write his A and N in his name. I couldn't even get him to attempt writing even those two letters at home. Yesterday he came home with a paper that had all four letters of ANDY written on it.
Then, when he was done with speech, his speech teacher said that he had made more attempts and was making the initial "K" sound better and more often. One of the things that might be helping with that...he has been cheering "Go Canada" when we watch the Olympics.
