Eensy Weensy Spider

Yesterday Logan found a little black spider in the playroom. Normally he would become frantic and cry for me to come get it. This time he decided to take care of business himself. He told me there was a spider and that he was going to smoosh it with a shoe. I was proud of my little 4 yr old! However, when Logan got the shoe next to the spider he just couldn't do it. He called me in to see the spider and then explained that the spider was little and wouldn't hurt him; in fact, the spider would be quite sad if he got smooshed. Instead, he was going to take a piece of toilet paper and put the spider outside. How could I disagree? So Logan got some toilet paper, scooped up the spider, and tried to take him outside. To his dismay, the spider wouldn't move. So we decided to throw it away.
