They did come to the house to do Lara's 2 year development check.. The hv showed her a book to see if she could say any of the words and she went through the whole book and said every word. The hv said her speech was very advanced for 2 yrs old . Lara disappeared and came back with her dummy in her mouth (which I'd hidden as they were a big nono at the time) The hv's face fell and she questioned me about it, made me feel crap, then said "no child should use a dummy at 2 years old as it stops their speech developing properly"

Wtf.. She had just said her speech was advanced
Ahhh the dummy thing. Yes I have got wrong for that too. Even though we started using a dummy on the recommendation of our pediatrician who said often it helps with colic. Which it did.
