She reached the photo down from the shelf for her little sister. She held the photo frame carefully and showed her sister the picture:
"This is baby Monty. He died."
This is how my 5yo introduced her sister to their brother.
I was proud of how she described him and how she shared this family history with her youngest sibling. I felt sad that she had to have a conversation like this at such a young age, with an even younger, almost-no-longer-a-baby sibling.
