Picture Segment Description

SCENE 1 Angela has a surprise for the members of day care today (including Rosita and Baby Bear) - Mr. Handford, who will be taking over the day care duties while Angela goes downtown for something. Baby Bear is skeptical about this change but feels better knowing Mr. Handford has a list of all the things they typically do. He gets upset when Mr. Handford sits in his chair, however (which is something he points out is not on the list).
