Snuggle a spider?

Sawyer watched a spider crawl along our neighbors front porch yesterday for 5 or 6 minutes. He repeatedly asked to pick it up to which I responded "no, we don't want to hurt him". Then the spider started crawling up on the side of the house. A little ways up he stopped. Sawyer still watching intently said "Spider resting. Pick him up? Snuggle?" This kid is so adorable sometimes!
