What I mean is, say in the year 2000, a family is looking back on 1995. Would they say when so and so was two years young, whatever event occured?

No. If it was the parents discussing an event that occurred 2 years before the birth of their child and were talking about it to him or her they would most likely say, "2 years before you were born....."
Sometimes people talk about toddlers as "2 years young" or maybe themselves "I'm 50 years young." but it's rare and usually just a jokey way of talking.

No the proper analogy is still 'old'. Odd as it may sound people should say he is two years young rather than old. But the body deteriorates with the consumption of time it doesn't rejuvenate. Everything gets older and rots eventually.

They would be 2 years young if time ran in a circle
