      I'm happy to know that finally someone is thinking of doing something special on that day. May I suggest to make it even more special for the child/children that will be there and who are born on that very special day... lots of these children are told each year that they don't have a birthday and as a child it can be hurtful as they don't always understand... I know this as I've been there too (I am a leap day baby). My best to all and Happy Birthday to those born on Feb. 29! :) Collapse
