GRAAFF-REINET NEWS - People born on Leap Day are called "leaplings" or "leapers." While other parents call their little one's "cutie" or "sweetie pie," you can call your 29 February baby a "leaper" or a "leapling" - how adorable is that?
Of course, 29 February is a rare birthday - and the upside is, you are much "younger" than you would have been if you were born on any other day of the year! The chance of giving birth on Leap Day is one in 1 461, making it the rarest birthday a person can have.
Now in her 13th leap year, Hilary Klaasen is very grateful and feels blessed to have been born on this special day. Hilary is the only daughter of the late Anthony Roman and has four brothers. She remembers her mother calling her “Cutie”.
