Hm, regular old CD players might be a good idea. I could even get an old disc burner and make copies or mixes for her so I don't have to worry about her breaking discs or anything

She'll have something in mind a lot of the time and request e.g. wiggles or peppa pig or sesame street ("stesame street") but if I go "how about this instead?" and show her something new she's totally okay with it and usually gets really into it or starts jamming out. She's been talking more lately which has been great--basic social things like greetings/farewells, thanks, etc., are now being said unprompted (inconsistently but I'm just happy it's happening at all) and in the last couple days she's started calling for us when she wants something. My heart soared the first time I heard her go "daddy, daddy" to call for me. She's starting preschool soon and I'm hopeful that will really accelerate her speaking progress. I'm really excited for her but also nervous. Probably the same stuff every parent goes through when their kid's starting school I'm sure

There are a ton of kinda cheap speakers around with bluetooth/USB capabilities, but they're also radios so don't know if that would work for you. I had a USB mp3 players ages ago. Maybe one of those could work, since they are USB stick size, and have audio jacks so it can be connected to any cheap speaker and have physical buttons to skip songs, and the smallest screen possible that just displays text. Edit: Also, beware that bluetooth speakers may also have buttons to be used to make hands-free phonecalls. Kal-L has issued a correction as of 01:22 on Nov 10, 2022 |

At first it was annoying but then I remembered that I did literally the same thing growing up with vinyl, cds, mini-discs, etc. and poo poo I still do the same thing today while driving. The algorithm recommended The Kid Laroi/Bieber - Stay, and we've now listened to that song approximately 1000 times.

Also helped in the summer. I have a nightlight in her room to help find the pacifiers she throws around the room but it’s always on at night so it wouldn’t have made her sleep worse during the full moon considering how she was howling until midnight the werewolf hypothesis is not being disproved

Son of Thunderbeast posted:That's also a good idea, I'll have to think about it. My perfect device would allow her to change songs and stuff so she'd have some control over it, but that's not the hardest requirement. The Jooki is basically what you're looking for- it's an mp3 player/speaker that auto plays a paired playlist when you put one of their little tokens or animals on it, and you can customize what is on each playlist. Only controls are skip forward/back and volume. It also hooks into Spotify but I haven't used that part. After using one for a month or so, I don't know if I would recommend it though. The software is garbage and it does the weird Bluetooth/local wifi combo for uploading mp3s on there- no USB connectivity other than charging. It ships with old firmware and then won't work until you update the firmware, which for some reason refused to work on my home wifi but did at work? Their support was not very good either However, now we have it set up it's great. Our 13mo will sit there and put on his own music, and change "CDs" by himself when he gets tired of one. Plus with 5 gigs of storage we just made one token a functionally infinite playlist of audiobooks we can skip around in.

You can also mix it with water and squirt it down their throat with a syringe.
