    Honestly, I’d just scour garage sales for a rocking chair or loveseat. We picked a rocking chair up for ~$20 and it’s Ben’s chair now—but the platform idea is great! I’m just not handy at all haha.

    How has everyone stayed sane inside?

    It’s too cold for walks! I tried a game of snow fetch in the backyard and Ben was ready to come inside after a few tosses. We played fetch/cuddle/wrestle inside until he was pooped and ended playtime...
