Saying Happy Birthday without Feb. 29

March
2

Sometime between Saturday and Sunday, I became the parent of a teenager. That’s because my oldest daughter was born on Feb. 29, 1996—  Leap Day. This year was an off year, so we wished her a happy birthday on both Saturday, Feb. 28 and Sunday, March 1.

We can joke all we want that she is really still only three-and-a-quarter years old. But anyway you slice it, she has now entered her teen years: a milestone for the entire family.
