Strange behaviors

[temporus]

I really don't know why I do this.  But when I'm changing the Little Man's diaper in the middle of the night, and its dark, because I'm trying to keep him from waking up too much.  I close my eyes while I change it.   I have no idea why.  It doesn't make much difference, since we've got black out curtains, and the only light in the room is the glow of a few clocks.   But I do this pretty often.  

I wouldn't even think of trying that in the middle of the day.  In the middle of the night, doesn't seem to be a problem.

LOL. The things we do in the middle of the night. I've gotten so I can go retrieve the baby from the crib, find my way to the glider in another room, nurse her back to sleep, and get her back in the crib without ever opening one eye more than halfway. I think I'm still half asleep during most of these middle of the night feedings. Changing a diaper with your eyes closed sounds perfectly reasonable to me. :)

It's not just the fact that I do it with my eyes closed that I find weird. It's that eyes open or closed doesn't make a difference. I can't see anything either way with the black out curtains.

I think it's caused by whatever makes me turn off the radio in the car when I'm thinking about directions. Not just lower it, but it must be completely off. Or the fact that when I'm reading a book, I don't hear what's going on around me. There seems to be a point where my brain prefers I shut off unnecessary inputs. Or it'll shut them off for me.
