It would have been much better if you had noticed the car and moved to the right 2 feet and turn your camera portrait

Yes I was worried about that darn car, only had one chance to shoot, you know kids, always on the move

One of my biggest, most consistent problems in photography is I'm so mentally focused on the subject, I fail to "see" what's going on in the background of the picture.

Like the car in the OPs' shot above, it's a distraction. Although the car was easily cropped out, I think there's some loss of the "feeling" of the picture with the toy cropped out as well.

Recently, I failed to notice various sconce-style wall lights at my ex step-daughters wedding and reception and it not only threw off the exposure, but white balance as well.

While I can typically crop away background clutter in my pix, sometimes, there's too little left in terms of both "mood" and pixels to have a result I like. Then it's off to the bit-bucket for the picture (deleted).

Obviously, I have a long way to go to take more time to "see" everything in the frame -before- I press the button. But then, with live-action, a shot missed is gone forever.
