I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee.
Ouch! He stung me!
I'm squishing up my baby bumblebee.
Won't my mommy be so proud of me?
I'm squishing up my baby bumblebee.
Eww! It's all over me!
I'm wiping off my baby bumblebee.
Won't my mommy be so proud of me?
I'm wiping up my baby bumblebee.
Look! All clean!
