2.5 development check didn't go well

Hello! I have a lovely little 2.5 year old boy. He is so happy and laid back, loves counting and taking things apart to see how they work. He can throw and kick, goes up and down the stairs by himself (with me hovering!), has just started to ask where things are etc, feeds himself, sleeps well etc.

But, at the 2.5 developmental check, he wouldn't engage properly with any of the activities....he doesn't really like puzzles and things. He loves drawing but can't do to circle yet. He wanted to look in all the cupboards in the room and open the doors. He wasn't very sure of the health visitor. He doesn't really engage for long at home either....he'll come and play with his stacking cups for a couple of minutes but then he's onto the next thing. This is quite a recent change because he used to sit and look at his books for a while. The health visitor is coming back to do a more detailed assessment with him at the end of the month.
He also seems to have 'fallen off' the height chart.

Meanwhile , I am going out of my mind with worry! Could somebody please reassure me or help me see what it is that the health visitor is thinking could be wrong. She wouldn't tell me! X
