Happy Leap Day! February 29 is a rare day. That\u2019s because February normally has 28 days. Not this year! This year we get an extra day in February! Leap years occur every four years, so the last one was in 2008. Leap year – rok przest\u0119pny<\/strong>.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What happens if you\u2019re born on February 29? Can you still celebrate every year? \u00a0(nadal \u00a0\u015bwi\u0119tujesz co roku?)<\/strong>\u00a0How do you celebrate? (Jak\u00a0\u015bwi\u0119tujesz?<\/strong>)\u00a0When do you celebrate? (Kiedy\u00a0\u00a0\u015bwi\u0119tujesz?)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I asked few of my friends (either them or their kids have birthdays on February 29th).<\/p>\n

Couple of them\u00a0all agreed that being born on February 29 makes them feel special (sprawia, \u017ce \u200b\u200bczuj\u0105 si\u0119\u00a0<\/strong>specjalnie<\/strong>). One girl says that it used to bother her when kids teased her about her birthday.Sometimes kids make comments such as \u201cYou\u2019re only 3 years old!\u201d\u00a0 Now that she\u2019s 12 years old, however, she says she\u2019s over that. \u201cI\u2019m appreciating my birthday more now,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Michael figures that someday his weird birthday will work to his advantage. In the year 2040, for example, when all his friends are turning 40, he could say that he was turning 11 years old. \u201cI like being born on the 29th,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

When it\u2019s not a leap year, some of them celebrate their birthdays on February 28. They say they prefer keeping their birthdays in the same month every year. Others celebrate on March 1st.<\/p>\n

There are 365 days in most years. That\u2019s because that\u2019s about how long it takes for the Earth to revolve, or go, around the sun. The problem is, the revolution actually takes Earth 365 days plus six hours, 9 minutes and 9.7 seconds. If we didn\u2019t add an extra day every four years, in 100 years, we would be about 24 days ahead of where we should be, and instead of heading to the beach in the heat of the summer,kids would be heading back to school.<\/p>\n

Who thought of this?\u00a0Kto\u00a0pomy\u015bla\u0142 o tym?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The calendar, something that we need and use so much today, was invented thousands of years ago as a way of keeping track of time. It has changed here and there. In 46 B.C. the Roman emperor Julius Caesar added an extra day to February every four years, and the leap year was born.<\/p>\n

Any of you have birthday today? Let us know what your thought are!<\/p>\n

Happy birthday!<\/p>\n
