And they fly, what more could you want
I need a sticking-my-tongue-out-at-you icon  :D

We are winning, baby steps but they've only just made four days, so I think they're doing very well. They don't instantly leap onto the ledges when I appear now, they can cope with a bit of a stroke and they tentatively come towards me now if I sit very still.

Mum and Dad came round and admired them today and they ate sultanas from mum's hand, so she thinks they've very good boys indeed  :)

Little Eric, who is by far the most nervous of the two boys, has just stood for voluntary stroking  ;D For ages  ;D And came up and sniffed my face and hair   ;D He has made so much progress, I am so impressed by him, brave little man :thumbsup:

And little Frank, who has been cuddling for a couple of weeks now, so now he does 'me, me, stop making so much fuss of Eric'  :D

They sound absolutely wonderful JK - even as my older goats get older and kids grow up they have such individual characters it's impossible not to love hem all for one reason or another, even the naughty ones!!

They look so cute and I am sure will soon be very people friendly.
