Preparing for Easter

Elanor and I watched this little Mormon Message video yesterday in preparation for Easter at the end of this week. I am not sure if Elanor understood everything and I tried to explain what was happening. However, she did say, "Bad guys giving Jesus owies? I give Jesus kisses, make him feel better!".  For the rest of the day, Elanor kept talking about how Jesus "got owies" and that she needed to kiss him. It was very sweet and I think she understood some of it and was very excited when he came back and saw Mary ("Jesus all better!"). I tried to explain that he did this all for her and everyone, which can be a confusing concept for a two year old. She did understand that Jesus was hurt and needed help and she wanted to be there (as in kiss and hug) for him. Kisses (especially from two-year olds) make everything better and I am sure Jesus would agree.
