First critique!

This is a 10 x 12" oil on canvas of my husband's little boy, Reis. I've included the main reference photo (which doesn't begin to show the amazing luminous skin Reis has) and the eyes that I used to help un-squint the painted eyes. Two things I'm questioning: the background and his eyes. I've worked on the eyes to make them less spacey looking, but my problem is that Reis really does look dreamy quite often. What I really want is the snappy, dazzling look that he's also very capable of. Hints, suggestions, all welcome. Thanks is advance.
