Baby versus Big Boy

Didn't remember when it's the first time we let Josh know, he is big boy now.

What I feel this couple of month, he didn't like when I did something that he tought it was for baby. Let say, I cuddle him on my arm, or hold him while bath time,etc.

But Josh still asked me to do things that I wish he could do it him self.
For example, wear his cloth, open the zipper, eat by him self, etc.

So today, I kinda used the wording "Baby vs Big Boy".

Starting from the morning. When he played his remote control car, the battery fall out, then he get up set and hurried asked me to fix it. While I'm on texting replying message. I told him to wait a while till I finished, he keep grumbling.
After that, I told him, Josh are you big boy? If you think you are, big boy could used a nice word and wait his turn. While baby can't talk yet, so they grumble or cry to get attention. Suddenly Josh talk nicely to me. Hmm it sound work well.

When bathing time done, he asked me to help him wear his cloth otherwise he will run nakedly.. hmmm, then I told him, Baby is smaller kids, they always need mommy to help them wear the cloth. Do you want me to help you? Or you want to try as big boy?. then suddenly he took his cloth and try to wear it. And I give applause for his effort.

When eating time come, I said how about if you eat by your self big Boy. And yeah, he follow my order. (He eat by him self in school, but in home sometime he still asked me to feed him so he can do something else).

I guess Josh is proud that he growth and become a big boy and he could do a lot thing. He really like when I praise him after he did something.
But I realized I shall used this wording wisely. I didn't want it's end up he teasing other, saying other as baby when they couldn't do something.
I just want to show him the difference between baby and big boy on giving reaction, on doing thing because they differs in nature (age, ability). Hopefully, by saying in a positive way (never tease him as baby), he could growing to be a positive person also.
