Narrative:

After gear selected up and in up position we lost #2 hydraulic quantity down to 1 quart. Declared emergency with ATC; notified flight attendant and operations that we were returning to our departure airport. Did checklist; performed alternate landing gear procedure and returned. Distracted during climb-out; we were slow to retract flaps and exceeded flap extension speed by 10 KTS. Emergency declared for loss of fluid. Flap position was corrected. Talked to dispatch when back on ground and made 2 write ups; one for loss of fluid and the other for exceeding flap speed. We needed to fly the normal flight profile during the initial climb and not be distracted by the loss of hydraulic fluid.
