Jonathan The Mime

Poor Jonathan has a huge canker sore on his bottom lip. This has made eating, drinking, and even talking uncomfortable for him. The upshot is that he isn't eating/drinking as much as he normally does and when he plays, he plays *exactly* the way he normally plays except now it's completely silent. Even interactive games he plays with me where he usually says something (like quotes from Charlie Brown, Veggie Tales, or whatever) - he plays exactly the same except when he usually says something, he's just quiet - but you can see him going through the words/lines in his mind.

We've been putting Ambesol on it (when he lets us - I guess he hates the taste and it does sting on the site of the sore when you first put it on) and it has helped tremendously. When we can get it on, within minutes he's back to normal. But in a few hours, it wears off and Jonathan the Mime returns.
