Is there something on my face?

We went out for ice cream for family night where Jonathan decided on the neon blue cotton candy. As evidenced by this picture we are convinced that Jonathan doesn't have nerve endings around his mouth. I thought it was just something that he'd grow out of but as long as he's been feeding himself this occurrence happens every meal. Well actually, every time food is near his face. It's like an explosion happens and he's left with shrapnel around ground zero.

He's oblivious. We ask him if he can feel it and of course he says he can't. So we send him to look in the mirror and he always comes out surprised like, "This is crazy! How in the world did that get there?" To his credit, he has been trying to self correct. During bites, he'll ask us to watch to see if any gets on his face. This photo is his attempt at self awareness when he states, "I think I feel something right here!"
