My Son's First Ever Chess Game

My son, Lucas, and I just played our first "complete" chess game today. Obviously, most of his moves were mistakes, but give him a break! He's only 3 years old! I didn't play the best moves neither primarily for the sake of showing him how the pieces move. I'm very impressed though that the first 3 moves he played were book moves (he played the Petrov Defense). However, after playing my 14th move, he lost interest and wanted to watch Mickey Mouse instead (again, he's only 3!). Maybe, just maybe, he has a bright chess future ahead of him! Here's the game:

Also bear in mind that he was also sitting off to the side of the board (on the queenside) and couldn't really reach the pieces on the kingside. Hence there were many pawn moves on the queenside.

Good game, Lucas! I hope one day he will be able to defeat me as easily as I'm able to defeat my father! Don't mind the photo being sideways by the way. I didn't realize that I had to have it a certain way haha.
