We were told that schools no longer do eye tests so we would have to make our own arrangements. Rhiannon has had a hearing test at school, and I think she has seen the dentist at school.

We took Rhiannon for her first eye test just after she started school. We want her to be checked regularly because Paul's eyesight is very bad. Both his sisters and his mum have glasses as well. I have congenital cataracts, and although it hasn't affected my vision, both girls have inherited the condition and it could affect their's.

I signed up with an NHS dentist when I became pregnant the first time (free UK maternity care) and I have always taken the girls with me when I have my 6 monthly check-ups. They like to go up and down in the chair. The dentist is really good with them.
