"    I know I&amp;#039;ve said it before, but wow, was this a good week in blogging. Well done, everyone! Ponies for us all! (Only if you want a pony.)  &amp;quot;(Fred enters, appearing to kickbox something.)&amp;quot;  That&amp;#039;s about all I can quote from a message from fred rowley, age 21 months, who has pneumonia, because boy, can this kid curse.  Tina of Gallivanting Monkey really taps into the primal rage of the toddler who&amp;#039;s sick AND has to deal with medical indignities on top of all his suffering. It&amp;#039;s terrifying at the time, but at least everything worked out, and now we can laugh about it. Right?
