Hi Pamela,
I personally find this image very heartwarming, and you must have enjoyed working on it. The poses and colors were well captured, without stifling the child's natural energy in your paintings.

What i thought would heighten this innocent energy would be to lighten / lessen the facial tones for the boy in red, and the toddler. I'm especially referring to the red cheeks on both kids, which seems to be making them look older right now.

Another thing we can do is to tone down on the toddler's eyes which seem to be having the whites of the eyes outstanding right now. In my experience, a toddler around this age would have very little eye whites.
So i hope with my two cent's worth, it'll be helpful to making it a remarkable painting.
