As we can see after the first week and true to suggested form it's "Asleep within seconds Albion" on top spot with "Tired and Emotional Athletic" propping up the bottom of the table.
"Hiding in the spare room" is just ahead of "Fidgety Legs United" both probably at the expense of "Tired and Emotional Athletic."
Let's see what sort of week the four teams have had.
Tired and emotional Athletic
Having at best 4, maybe 4 and a half hours sleep in frustratingly small 45 minute chunks for the majority of the week will be the main reason my wife is currently in 4th place.
Here's hoping homemade cards, a cuppa and the unorthodox Mothers Day gift of a 2 year McAfee anti virus subscription helps put a better perspective on things.Luckily it's common knowledge that nothing says "Darling we all appreciate how awesome a Mum you are, quite as effectively as someone updating your firewalls.
"Happy Mothers day darling. I've treated you to an,anti virus package.There's an anti phishing component that comes as standard!"
"Does a bunch of flowers and a Toblerone come as standard?"
Asleep within seconds Albion
Clear winner of the first week with five sleeps on the trot.
A dose of, “Australian flu” wasn’t nearly enough to stop my daughter having another solid week of sleep. We had heard really bad things about this strain of flu. The symptoms however didn’t include waking up with corks hanging off your nose. A joke utterly lost on my 5 year old daughter. It did however include a sore throat, headache and being at least 20% more emotional.
The sudden realization that "Mr Worry" who reminded her of Daddy just wasn't going to overcome his anxiety by the end of the book caused her to burst into tears.

As the winner of the first week "family sleep league" my daughter was granted a special day out.This "Special day out" resulted in a trip to the library so that Daddy could avoid another fine. Half a paragraph on the loo every other day will do that! A journey into Brighton on the bus followed by a panicky search to find another Library to make up for the one that had closed early for emergency maintenance!
She wasn't fooled.
"Look here's another Library!"
"Daddy there aren't any chairs or places to sit down,its a shop!"
My parental guilt of being totally rumbled meant her "Special Treat" trip was instantly upgraded. As well as a bus journey and walk in the rain it also included the lion's share of a not really shared at all brownie. A wonderfully overpriced sticker album from the not fallen for Library and a babychino. For anyone who isn't up to speed on current coffee shop decaffeinated alternatives for children it's basiclaly a shot glass measure of hot milk for the same price as 8 litres of milk from the co-op. It has a better mark up than Bitcoin at its peak.
Hiding in the spare room town
Hiding in the spare room town was a genuine contender for the top spot until Friday when he woke up drenched and shivering to find someone must have put a boomerang under his pillow.This means that for the first week he is destined for the silver medal.
Fidgety legs United
My son being rewarded with a toy blackbird for sleeping in his bed the week before seems to have utterly backfired on us.I also feel one week’s sleep shouldn’t really equate a new toy.A extra biscuit or a ride on Daddy’s shoulders maybe.
When it comes to rewarding our children I have often been described by my wife as being a bit mean.In a similar way as her advice on the best M25 services,Beaconsfield apparently,sometimes I do probably just need to listen
The most innocent of discussion about plastic toys,second hand or not, reduced by 40% from the 65% they’ve had added on to them or not,can be enough to raise my heart rate to dangerous levels.
My son obviously feels that lying in his bed from 7am until his first traipse through to us at 2am for one night is justification for another toy bird.

He’s presently fixated on a “Birds of New Zealand book” and an in particular an Eagle indigenous to the land.A toy Eagle is what he wants and considers to be a fair swop for waking my wife up who then wakes me up because understandably three hours of whispering bird related gibberish in your ear is enough to break anyone.
“Can Mummy’s baby be an Eagle?”
“No!”
“Can I be an Eagle!”
“No you don’t have wings!”
“Ca I use my finger wings!”
“William I know this quite possibly means I am failing you as one of,if not your primary role model but I’m afraid i have neither the intellect or energy to effectively answer that question as this time!”
