All of us who have or has had young kids know how they want to help you do everything. Tonight I set out to load some .45ACP on my Dillon 550. I was about 50 rounds into the session when the plea to help come from my 4 year old son. Instead of brushing him off I put him up on the bench (since he is too short) with the boxes for the completed rounds. When a round fell into the hopper he would pick it up and place it in the box. He was having a ball. I would pretend like I was racing him. He even got to the point where he would try to catch the round as it fell and place it in the box before it fell. It was the most fun I've has reloading. For him it was a game and for me it was quality time spent with my son involving my favorite hobby since he is still too young for the range.
(BTW, I wasn't really racing him, but don't tell him that. Gotta watch the powder drops and the whole process.)
