The "don't stress" goal is a big one for me too. I think its going to be a great year. Sounds like you have some great goals and challenges for the year.

It's less than a week in and I'm already stressing about the reading. LOL You are definitely one to look up to; your challenges all look like a ton of fun, but intimidating at the same time. :D I definitely need to add “don’t stress” to my list of goals for the year.

I love shopping thrift stores and library books sales. I came home with hundreds of books last year! Nicole - Ha, ha! Although I wouldn't mind getting ARC's of ABC books. Kathy - I know. But it's so hard to see a young two year old say them so perfectly when my little guy wouldn't even know where to start. His language is delayed enough that our pediatrician has recommended taking him to the school district to see a speech pathologist. We still can't understand half of what he says. His vocabulary is huge though, he just says it all wrong. Becky - I agree! You should have seen me today, I only checked my email twice today and only logged onto my blog once! Trish - Just remind me to not stress come the middle of the year and my TBR has grown four fold. Jenn M. - Yes, I could do without the paint thinner episode again. Actually, Becky is hosting a young readers challenge that I'll think I'll adapt and review 12 ABC books. I'll look into the one that you recommended. Thanks! Janssen - Let's both not stress together! Beth - I'll take a look at the link. Josette - That was the big thing about 2008. I was only seeing how many pages were left in my book so I could move on to the next one. When I finished a book, I picked up another instantly. What's wrong with being between books for a couple of days?

I don't like feeling pressured to finish a book faster, especially ones that I don't enjoy at all. I like the last one: don’t get too stressed out over reading.

It is called "Read, Sing, Play ABC Sing-Along." It has a CD, pull-tabs, touch and feel and more. The ISBN # is 0-439-85357-5 The songs are funny and cute.

I feel like it's easy to get stressed out by reading when you are keeping lists and reviewing. I'll do better about that too! Great goals!
