Today is 29 February 2016 which happens once every 4 years. It is so special that we call it a leap (/liːp/) year. Leap sounds like sheep (/ʃiːp/).
Leap is mostly used as a verb (meaning jump) and was famously used by Neil Armstrong, who was the first person to walk on the moon. He said:
"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
Google decided to make a doodle (/duːdl/) to celebrate the day. The 29th day of February leaps between the 28th February and the 1st of March.
If you are born 29 February 2016, how old would you be in 2032? 16 years old or 4 years old?
