i didn't make it up. i found it on the internet {jeremiah told me once to not believe everything i hear on tv or the internet-maybe this is one of those times}.
those are official titles you endowed to someone who has a birthday on feb. 29th.

| two days old... |
the odds of being born on this particular day are 1,461 to 1.
they add the extra day every four years to keep the celestial calendar in order-something about the earth's circle around the sun. i am no astronomer but that's my understanding.
since our "cars" celebration for your 4th birthday-so much has changed.
you have made that transition from boy-kid-teen to carrying the role of "man" upon your shoulders.
while the past four years have provided lots of challenge with dad & his health,
it forced you to learned to find an equilibrium in pursuing your education while remaining a necessary force in our home.
college is supposed to be an egocentric season self-definition...living with minimal responsibilities & embracing the "college" lifestyle.
i have to find the "thanks" in this giving from God. a reason-a blessing in fact-for a disease that is so hard to fight & has taken so much from one of ours. perhaps a slice of blessing is it has given you perspective beyond your 20 years...keeping you grounded in faith & family.
wishing for cake with you today!
i promise to NEVER call you a leapster-29er-leapling.
happy birthday scoot.
i love you.
mom...aka chris
