Leap years and common years

I had no idea years sans Leap Day are considered "common". Poor years. How uninteresting is that? Here's the scoop on Leap Years according to my favorite internet research site, Wikipedia.

"Seasons and astronomical events do not repeat at an exact number of full days, so a calendar which had the same number of days in each year would over time drift with respect to the event it was supposed to track. By occasionally inserting (or intercalating) an additional day or month into the year, the drift can be corrected."

I'm excited for Henry's first Leap Day experience as we've got a busy day planned. He'll look back on it and groan, I'm sure, because I'm Baby Bjorning his cute babyness to the Creating Keepsakes Scrapbook Convention at the Oregon Convention Center in the morning (we're meeting cousin Miss Amelia Jane and Aunt Megan) and then we've got to finish a dessert we're making to take to our friends, the Herzings, for a celebratory Leap Day dinner, more challenging than it sounds with our stupid oven acting up. (Dang F7-E0 error.) A bonus, H will be able to meet Rocco and Hobbes.
