You're right in that the kid is an interesting subject. The exposure on this is good, maybe a bit hot on the one cheek - tough lighting condition to get perfect. If your camera has an exposure compensation feature you might want to try dropping it down a notch or two for shots like this. It's easier to recover from slight underexposure in post-processing than overexposure. I know you didn't have a choice on the bg, but I find the number board pulls attention away from the kid. Makes me want to know what it is. The solutions may be a shallower DOF (could be tough), blur it out some, or...leave it alone. ;^) I would crop the left side just enough to lose the line of the bg wall.
