I know someone whose Brownie pack took great delight in planning an 7th birthday party for her, including games like musical bumps. It was the previous cycle of Brownies who planned a 6th birthday party for her in 2020.

I knew a boy when we were both sixteen who was born on Feb 29th. When little children asked him how old he was he said "Four!" Of course they were incredulous but he explained he'd only had four birthdays 🎂

The S and DiL of one of our neighbours had two children born on leap year day 4 years apart.
It was reported on in the local newspaper and the odds against were huge, in millions I think.. though that may be an exaggeration.

My grandmother was a Leap Year’s Day baby. She’d be 32 now! Her nephew was also a LYD baby, though I don’t know how old he’d have been. I think he was born in the 1930’s but has passed away.

Happy birthday any Leap Year babies on GN! 🎂

I know two: my nephew was born in 1988, and one of my minded boys was born in 2012 🥳🥳

Just thinking of those young ‘uns who only get to have a birthday once every 4 years!
Happy Birthday to you !🎂🍬
