What even are children?

[bcholmes]

Dear friends who have children, or spend a lot of time in their presence (without cowering in fear, like I do): I’m looking for some help identifying the age of these kids. How old do you think the kids are in this picture?

I know who the three older kids are, but I’m trying to identify the baby. It’s either my father, or my father’s older sister, Elizabeth, who died as an infant. If it’s the latter, then this might be the only picture of her that I know of.

I'm with sedge and boxofdelights - the toddler is no more than 2, and 18-20 months seems reasonable; and the two boys look about 4. (I see lots of kids coming through the checkout lane at Walmart, where I'm currently supplementing my student loan income.) Another clue might (but only "might") be the dog in the background. Was the dog still around in 1946, do you know? If so, not much of a clue there. If not, however, ... :-)
