ADAM Marsden has had a long wait for his first proper birthday - he was born in Leap Year 1992.

But it has been worth the wait.

He is having an extra-special party with all his friends at nursery - and a special cake with one candle!

His mum, Susan, said: "Adam was due on February 20, but he decided to hang on.

"He is a bit too young to understand about Leap Year yet, but he knows he is getting a lot of extra fuss made of him this year, so he is happy about it."

Adam will celebrate being four with friends at Nook Barn Nursery in Cherry Tree.
