I think you did good. I'm no pro by all means however it isn't bad.

Well done!

Now to make it even better:

Use the histogram to measure. You do not need the light meter.

Separate the child's hair from the background (use a hair light, or perhaps better, light up the background behind him)

Light a bit more unevenly left-right

Then work on the pose

Can you expand upon using a histogram to measure, please?

Take the shot, if the histogram with isn't to the right as much as it can go without blinkies going off, up the exposure. In cave(wo)man terms.
