And the winner is...

Edamommy is the winner of our 300th comment prize, with this comment under suburbancorrespondent's tongue-in-cheek list about how you know when you have too many kids:

I'm one of 7 kids and my only child is one of 19 grandkids. I think my cousins had some sort of bizarre fertility contest among them because each one has 6 or more kids.

I really wanted more but I love having one and being able to really enjoy each and every phase with her. And, we have some wonderful friends whom we see often who are like siblings to my daughter (but I don't have to care for or feed them).

Now, two dogs is too many : )

Tomorrow I'll take and post a photo of the books she gets to choose from. Even if you didn't win, you might help out a fellow CCM reader by telling us whether you've read any, and which one you'd pick if you had won.

Yes, close-in-age cousins are great! But my kids didn't have any, so we had to give them siblings instead.

I gotta agree about the dogs. I find them more confounding than human children by far.
