2 year check
Hi there. My lo is due for his 2 year check and I was just wondering what to expect. A friend has told me that they ask about how many words they are saying which was helpful cos we've had chance to count and it's WAY more than we thought. I think a bit of advance warning will give a chance to watch him and actually give the right answer and not just a random guess.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Reece had to draw a pic to see how he held a crayon and build a tower. Then he just got weighed and measured and they gave advice about sleep (he is still rubbish at sleeping) and potty training. He is reallly good at talking and didnt shut up whilst we were there and told her all the colours of the bricks that he was building so we didnt have any worries there. We also took turns putting the bricks on which she was really impressed by as he kept saying mummys turn and reeces turn. She had some dolls tea set tots as well and watched how he played with those, nothing unusual at all. Hope it all goes well xx

HV also asked quite alot of questions like would she point to the sky if i said there was an aeroplane;how many words does she have; any concerns about hearing or eyesight; is she interested in toilet training; how are her eating habits.....sure there was more but can't remember!
My dd had to do her's twice as on 1st attempt hv came to house and my son was only 3wks old and she just wouldn't co-operate with anything whatsoever!! When she did it the 2nd time my husband took her as it was scheduled at same time my son had injections. This time it was at the clinic and she did fine. HV did say with speech that although she's saying loads, as some of it is not understandable to someone who doesn't know her (what 2yr old is fully understandable though I ask?!?!) that she put it down for review and will call us in a few months to see if she is progressing!!
It does seem as though it is different everywhere though so try not to worry about it too much!
