Ben is 10!

Today is Ben's 10th Birthday. Here's some stuff we love about Beanbag...

B--Big Heart. Although he acts like a tough guy, he's pretty sensitive to others--especially little kids.
E--Everyone's Friend. Ben makes friends easily. People like to be around him and friends are always wanting to play.
N--No Fear. With the one exception being birds, Ben isn't afraid of anything. He went off the High-Dive at the pool when he was little and is always willing to try new things.
J--Jokes around. Ben is so funny! He loves to play jokes and just make people laugh.
A--Always playing. Ben is always running and playing. He loves sports and when he's not playing soccer, he is outside or bouncing off the walls in the house.
M--Maintains a low profile. Even though he is crazy, full of energy, talented and a little crazy, he manages to slip under the radar a lot. I realized this when I was looking for pictures of him. He manages to stay out of the spotlight. I really like how he always passes the ball to let someone else have a chance to score a goal instead of always scoring himself.
I--Intelligent. Ben does great at school. He works hard and we've found that he's a real smartie!
N--Noisy. As a little kid and even now, playing nintendo, soccer, with toys or watching TV he always is making little noises. He gets into it, dude! I love how he can get so excited about stuff...

We love you, Ben! Happy Birthday!!
