Default Explaining MS to little kids...

I knew this day would come. And I thought I was prepared for it, but I can't seem to find a good video to show that DD understands.

DD is a very smart 6 yr old. She is also very inquisitive and we have a thing that we do when she wants to know something (what are capers? what to dragonflies eat?). If I do not know the answer, we will jump online and look it up. One of the perks to technology.

This morning she asked me What is MS? So I explained it to her as best as I could... but she is still a llittle confused. She loves looking at my MRI scans when I get them, she is better at finding lesions than I am. "Spot the dot" is the game we play. So for that part, she sees what it is and she gets that they are like holes/scars.

But she is not quite getting my explaination. Does anyone know of a good kids website? I have been googling all day, and I find all kinds of things for older kids, but trying to explain this to a 6 yr old is a little more challenging.
