When you think of yourself through life stages, do you think of infinite children (for example), or is it more like, “oh yeah, I went camping there as a kid?”

I think of myself as me; that's the point — something as fundamental to humanness as being made in the Image of God isn't something that comes in stages.
(You could possibly make the argument about showing that image, but not about possessing that image.)
