If one child is born on the 15th of Adar and the second one is born on the 10th of Adar 2, the order of their birthdays will vary by year.

Yes, I have forgotten how to determine what happens should a persons birthday fall on a leap month...

A leap year cycle is a nineteen year cycle. During this period of time there are seven leap years: the 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th, and 19th years in the cycle are the leap years. We can figure out if the year is a leap year by dividing the present Hebrew year by 19. If the remainder number is one of the above numbers or zero (in the place of 19) then it is a leap year. For example, this year is 5768; if we divide it by 19, we get 305 with a remainder of 11, which tells us that this is the 11th year in the 19 year cycle. The next leap year will be in the 14th year (in three more years).
If a person was born in Adar, in which Adar does he celebrate his birthday? The usual custom is to celebrate the birthday in the same Adar in which Purim falls, meaning Adar II. However if he was born in Adar I in a leap year, then he would celebrate his birthday in Adar I. Conversely, if someone was born in Adar II, he celebrates his birthday in regular years in the only Adar that comes, regular Adar. This can present a small problem, if one person was born in the twentieth of Adar I and his friend was born in the next month on the third of Adar II, if their bar mitzvah is in a plain year (with only one Adar), the younger boy (born in Adar II) will celebrate his bar mitzvah on the third of Adar before his older friend (born in Adar I) on the third of Adar. Ah, such is the irony of the Jewish calendar!
During a leap year, the date in Adar I of Purim is not celebrated as Purim, however it has become a festive day in that certain prayers are not said, and the custom is to eat in a more festive manner. It is called Purim Katan, meaning the small Purim.
