So, for the babies born today, their following birthdays will be March 1st, until there is another 29th right??
My MIL is a Leap Baby and all the other years she has her b-day on the 28th, because it is still in the same month.
However, on that 21st birthday, the 28th doesn't count. You aren't 21 until after midnight on the 28th. (Or at least that is how it was handled at our bar, so I think that's what Alcohol Law Enforcement says.)
My friend counts the 28th as hers.
My mother was a leap year baby. Today would have been her 21st "real" birthday. She always celebrated on February 28th.
Molly:
The people (2 of them) that have a leap year birthday celebrate either on the 28th or the 1st. LUCKY THEM!!!
Their birthdays are always February 29th. Some celebrate on 2/28 and some on 3/1. I just read somewhere that those born before noon would celebrate on 28th while those after noon would celebrate on 1st. Really I don't think it matters, just a personal or family preference.
Besides, leap year baby or not, don't we all tend to celebrate on the weekend before or after out birthdays anyway (party-wise)?
I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
I’ve information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I’m very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I’m teeming with a lot o’ news –
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
I’m very good at integral and differential calculus;
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
I know our mythic history, King Arthur’s and Sir Caradoc’s;
I answer hard acrostics, I’ve a pretty taste for paradox,
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;
I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,
I know the croaking chorus from the Frogs of Aristophanes!
Then I can hum a fugue of which I’ve heard the music’s din afore,
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore..
.
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform,
And tell you every detail of Caractacus’s uniform:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon” and “ravelin”,
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin,
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I’m more wary at,
And when I know precisely what is meant by “commissariat”,
When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery;
In short, when I’ve a smattering of elemental strategy,
You’ll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee.
For my military knowledge, though I’m plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
If I were born of February 29th, I'd just celebrate like mad every 4 years....you know save up! LOL
My mother's aunt was born on February 29th. She celebrated her birthday on the 28th during non leap years.
The people I've known with leap year birthdays celebrate the next day after February 28, right. I don't know if there's a law about it! :^)
My mom had a friend who was a leap baby, and he changed it every year as to what day he claimed as his birthday. Well except for leap year, then he actually celebrated on his birthday.
One year he might celebrate on the 28th the next it might be march first, some years he'd surprise everyone and pick a random day LOL He said "I figure since my actual birthday only exists once every 4 years I can pick any other day I want" LOL He was such a card :)
Yes. Your first birthday marks a YEAR from your birth. They will be one year old next year on March 1. Their birthDAY will always be February 29, but that doesn't mean they're not getting older every year like the rest of us :)
