Cute kid, good exposure, good skin tones. The border neither adds or distracts. A better composition might be include the person holding the child sleeping also.
cute idea, but flash will ruin a photo every time. The idea is too make a technically good image as well as meet challenge criteria. Next time try a flood lamp,lamp w/o lampshade or natural sunlight, you will find your images look 110% better than w/ a flash
