UPDATE!!

Abigail wrote her name for the first time! For some reason, it is not as intimidating to write on a mirror with dry erase markers as it is on paper.  We both wrote her name, one letter at a time.  What also helped was us learning that for Abigail, over emphasizing that she try is so much more important than the final product. We still praise good work and view the final product as important, but we've been over-the-top praising her for keeping trying things the past couple months.  I usually shy away from those seemingly feel good philosophies, but it has made a world of difference for Abigail (thanks Derek for the tip on learning styles)!
