Health Visitor coming to the house AFTER two year check

[DiamondSky]

Hi, I'm new here and wondered if anyone can advise. My son had his 2-2.5 yr health check a month or two ago, just after he turned 2. A community nursery nurse came to the house and although he would 'perform' on demand and build with her blocks when she wanted etc. I explained he does build with blocks, talks well (when HE wants!) and generally seems to be progressing OK. She seemed happy enough. Filled out her checklist that she took away with her and wrote that everything was generally fine in his red book. He is now 27 months old and I've just received a letter saying the health visitor wants to come to our house the week after next. It doesn't say why and I'm confused as I didn't know there were any more checks for a while yet. Has anyone else had experience of this? I'm going to ring and ask what it's about on Monday but am just really curious as to why there would be two visits so close together. Thanks.

DD2's check was hilarious. She refused to draw anything, gave the crayon to the hv and said "you draw a cat now please".

They gave up at that point.

She is nearly four and still won't draw really. She has only just established handedness which i think is a major factor here.

My DS had to perform ALL the tasks on the sheet of paper on the day the HV came. When he couldn't thread beads onto a string she advised me to get some and practice with him. She came back six weeks later and he was then able to do the things she hadn't been able to tick off the first time. Some HVs seem to be more strict about checking the various skills than others and, to be fair, I was worried about my DS at the time, so they were being extra careful to screen him and make sure there weren't any developmental delays. They can't come up with a 'score' though if skills are missing and as I understand it they need that for their paperwork.
