We spin yarn on this site about Kole's troubles, foibles, and even some interesting events and firsts and accomplishments. Today, we have a tale of Kole showing compassion and concern.The scene was in his bedroom preparing for bed. In his jammies and under covers, little Kole told his mother in a cheery voice, "Book! Book!" So Kathy retrieved a book from a shelf.
She then knelt down to the bed to read him the story, but on her descent banged her knee against Kole's bed. Going a little above and beyond the average knee stinger, Kathy gave a bit of an animated hobble was verbalizing some sort of pain or displeasure with her little oops.
Kole responded by laughing, as if his mother were some sort of jester providing one final nighty-night dance.
Kathy, not in a scolding way, simply gave a sad face and responded: "Mommy hurt her knee."
Kole's face then turned stoic with concern, eyes wide and mouth agape.
"Waswrong, Momma?" he said in his soft baby-voice, as if he were on the verge of tears, still laying down with his head turned on the pillow.
Kathy responded proudly, "That's very sweet of you to ask of Momma. I just hurt my knee, but I'll be okay."
The book was read, then goodnights and kisses were exchanged.
Whether he's mocking what he's seen from his parents showing concern for Karissa or what, it's a bit of a breakthrough moment that he showed legitimate emotion for his mother's well being.
