Today is the 1st of March, and I started thinking about the poor leap babies who didn’t have birthdays this year. I’m not one of them, but I do know a ‘leap baby’, and he celebrates his birthday on the 28th.
I read in an article how one is suppose to calculate when you should celebrate your birthday, here’s what they suggested…
To figure the right day to celebrate your birthday, you add 365 and one-quarter days to the hour of your birth. Suppose you were born February 29, 1972 at 10 PM. Then 365 and one-quarter days went by and behold, the first anniversary of your birth hour came on March 1, 1973, at about 4 AM.
That somehow just seems like too much effort though – I like the idea of celebrating on the 28th of Feb, as its at least still in the same month.
So here’s to all the leap babies! Hope you had a splendid birthday, whether you celebrated yesterday or doing so today!

I’d celebrate mine on the 28th…then March 1st every year.
But I’m greedy.
I had one friend that celebrated on march 1, and every four years on the 29. She said she was just too lazy to figure out the real date. of course, she said later on, it would only be to her advantage, since she’d be young forever, since her birthday only came every 4 years.
I have a friend who only celebrates his birhtday every 4 years with a party. I think his parents only gave him a party like that when he was growing up. How sad is that?
it would interesting on when to celebrate the birthday… i’m glad i am run of the mill without leap years to account for.
