Yes, so as to get closer to him. But what stands out for me unfortunately is the reflection/glare of your flash on the camera your son is holding.
 
Classic shot....but it looks like there was enough ambient light that a flash wasnt necessary. I would have stepped it down to f/2.8, maybe bumped the ISO to 200 and taken a vertical picture. On my XTi I have found that the auto mode does a poor job taking pictures in low light since the flash is rather weak. Try shooting on Av (apperture priority) of Tv (Shutter priority mode).
 
yeah, definitely need to kill that flash. or go w/ off-camera lighting. Something about the setting seems bland to me though. anyone else think this would look better with his son full framed?
