Regardless of what day we celebrate my girls are so thrilled to celebrate with her. I think they believe it's exciting to have a birthday on leap year, well, I guess that's what I thought. Apparently Bella has finally clued into how unfair it must be to only get a birthday every 4 years. This afternoon while they made cards to go along with the gift I caught sight of Bella's card and couldn't help but laugh. She wrote, "I feel bad for you that you were born on leap year..." Ah, sweet Bella and her tactful ways. I thought it was so funny and know my mom will get a kick out of it too.
It's crazy to think being a leap year baby was almost my fate. My mom was telling me how excited the doctor was to think he would deliver a baby on leap year whose mother was born on leap year as well. Lucky for me I came when I did and I think I owe my mom for it. Apparently she was willing me to come because she didn't want me to grow up feeling like I was "floating". Thank you for that. I don't know though, we do have the biggest bash ever when she does get a birthday so I wonder, does it out way the other years?
Mom Happy 15 1/4 Birthday!...or is that 61? I never know which, and there we go again...floating. Love you.

I had a good friend growing up whose birthday was on leap day and she pretty much hated her birthday. So sad. I can understand the floating feeling. Bella's sentiments made me laugh out loud!
Leap year is such a weird thing, it's kind of crazy that all those babies have to deal with that birthday they're whole lives. I guess I'd want to choose a day (probably the 28th since it's still in February) and go with that.
It's such a strange thing for your mom. I never really thought about how close your birthday is to hers! I didn't know that you were almost a Leap baby.
It's so cute of the girls to get excited about it. I can totally imagine Bella feeling sorry for your mom and showing sympathy. She is such a sweetheart.
I agree with Jill, think I would choose the 28th over the 29th, if it were me. Otherwise it seems like it's already over.
That would be strange. I say claim the 28th!
