I do too, General. My favorite thing to shoot is people. Amherst has quite a few books on portraits and lighting any of which I would highly recommend. Also, practice with self-portraits, using timer or remote release. You are the most tireless model you'll ever get. When you can do yourself in any light, you'll certainly get a lovely shot of the fussy 3 year old! :)

General,
I wouldn't worry about the small room too much. I use a portion of my 8 foot basement that measures about 100-125 square feet. My lights are the aluminum work lights that range from 100-300 watt bulbs.
For my backdrops I have bought scrap materials from WalMart that aren't anywere near 96-120inches wide let alone 5 yards long. They are litterly scraps that I can get behind the subjects (usually my daughter or the neighbors) head.
We as photographers really have it good. We can beat ourselves up and strive the the absolute best - while our 'clients' would rather have a bad photograph now than a great photograph later. This really gives the student room to breath and practice.
Now my only problem is charging for it.
