For people who are born on February 29th, you have the option to either celebrate your birthday on February 28th or March 1st during non-leap years.

Hendrix and Theodosia will celebrate their official first birthday in 2028, but the parents say that they will let them decide when to celebrate their birthdays on non-leap years when they get older.
