Barbara: There is a small tape recorder for Kids by PLAYSKOOL, which has a little microphone incorporated. The microphone seems to last forever even after the batteries will no longer play the tape recorder. You would definately be able to hear her voice. You simply hold a button on the microphone down when holding the microphone to your mouth, and voila'! It might not be a bad solution. She could also listen to music! [log in to unmask]
