Today I decided I better write about this so I don't forget about it years later. :) Every so often, when she thinks we're not looking, Gemma likes to go into the room where we keep the dog & cat food, (or directly to the filled bowls) and she will munch on a piece or two. After seeing her do this the first time and assuming she'd get that it was yucky, I figured the problem would solve itself. Funny thing is, she's still doing it!
Now, though, she knows she's not supposed to eat their food (you know, because she's a HUMAN), so she's gotten clever. She'll go in there acting like she's just checking on something, or to "feed the animals." Instead, I find her stuffing a mouthful of dog chow in her cheeks!
Today I watched her casually walk over to Buddy's dish and sneak a piece into her mouth. Since I saw her, I waited until she walked away (presumably to go eat her snack in private) and then I said "Gemma, what do you have?" She looked right at me, with her mouth full and was about to run away when I said "Spit it out." She then reluctantly spit it into my hand, looking pretty discouraged that she'd been caught.
I think that's pretty gross, but I guess looking back at the fetish Hannah started at this age, "gross" is a relative term. (If you missed it, I'm sure it's in the archives somewhere, probably titled "Poop Party")
