Haha, imagine those who are born in the leap young only growing 1 year older every four years. Technically, it's correct because we only grow old after our birthdays is passed right? Hehe.. So when our peers are like 16 years old, we are still 4 years old! ROFL. Anyway, I am not a leap year baby but just thought of sharing my views here based on what I have heard from others. Basically, leap year babies just celebrate their birthdays either one day before or one day after their birthdays. That is because technically their birthdays will be on 1st March on every normal year. Lol. But it would be cool just to grow one year older every 4 years isn't it?

Yeah I think it bis really cool my friend, imagine when all your peers are in a certain age your age is divided by 4 of their age. that is really cool. That is what i have heard too that they just celebrate it before or on the 1st of March but i think the feeling will be different since the date is different. LOL. i am not that emotional on my birthdays but i mean not seeing it in the calendar.....

Hehe, it's a great way to feel young when all our friends are old. Imagine when we are in ours 80s, and those who are leap year babies will only be 20 years old. Lol. Young at age and heart! Yeah~ I heard the same from my friends. They either celebrate one day ahead or one day later. Technically, 29th Feb will be the same as 1st March. However, it is not REALLY your day either as it is not 29th Feb. Kind of hurting though not to see my birthday on the calendar as it seems like I don't exist at all for the next 3 days. =( Haha, that being said, I still think it will be cool to be a leap year baby! Hehe

i know someone that was born on leap day and she celebrated her birthday every year she would just do it the day before or the day after. On leap year she would just have a really big celebration.

i got a friend that's born on february 29th. She celebrates her birthday every year, but, you can't deny that every 4 years, the party is awesome, when she celebrates it on the day she was really born!! And still we joke with her a lot about her age, because she will only be 6 years now, so its very funny!!!

That's awesome. I am just wondering if this friend of yours celebrates every year for her birthday on which day does she celebrate it on the 28th of February or on the 1st of March. I am confuse now. I just can't imagine myself not seeing my birth date on the calendar every year. I think it would be different. What do you think?

You know something that would suck I never even thought about this before lol. But imagine being born on that date so would your birthday be on the 28th every year if that happens or the first of march wich would probally be more likely. But that is something good to think about.

My aunty who expired last year, had her birthday in leap years and all of us used to make it a grand celebration. we use to call her a miser as she used to treat us once in four years.

Hi kenchip, Why 4 year? For me , not every year or every leap year. I just celebrate it if I want. Sometimes, I really don't think of it more since busy or other reason, I am not a certain plan to it. Freerr
