As you can see he was a bit shy at first, but with a bit of coaxing and the promise of a chocolate biscuit for being a good monster (I have learned something from being a mum!) he stepped forward and allowed me to photograph him properly.
His friend meanwhile had no such just-been-born nerves and gave me a huge grin, hoping no doubt for a chocolate biscuit too.
Lets just hope that the good behaviour continues!
