Hi all,
I'm wondering if the idea of "big boy" or "big girl" exists in Spanish. In English, we use it when speaking to young children. It's hard to describe, but examples might be:
"You're 5 years old now! You get to go to kindergarten at a big boy school."
"You have a pull-up on, we can try using the big girl potty."
"Wow! What a big boy you are!" (as in, "Aren't you so grown up!")
It's not really a phrase that is used with children over...5 years old or so. I'm wondering if there is any similar, colloquial language that is used with young children in Spanish.
As always, gracias de antemano. You guys are awesome.
