Jennifer,
My 4 1/2 yo circed ds has never asked about 2 yo intact ds, even though they take baths together every day and the 2 yo runs around naked all the time. I think honesty is the best policy when they do finally ask, being careful not to scare a young child with the gory details. I would say something like, "When you were born, the doctors told us it was healthier to circumcise, but then we found out it wasn't so we didn't do it with your little brother."
