It's a good start! In case your son is interested in becoming a problemist you may point out to him that efficient use of material is of the essence. In his diagram the white king is workless. It could be put to good use by placing it on g4 instead of the pawn. The solution still works fine!
I pointed that out to him earlier and he said he just liked having the pawn there better. No accounting for 9-year old tastes. 
#9 in the country, good start indeed

Fantastic work for a nine year old. Great imagination and economy of means - even considering the pawn on g4.
The moves and areas covered by the long-range pieces definitely stir up his imagination - a very promising circumstance for his further chess development.

1969 USCF
More than that now.
9 year olds are smart do not underestimate youth
1969 at the age of nine ! Impressive.

And now he has 2388 of ELO

If he keeps growing at that rate he'll beat Magnus Carlsen by my age.
Ahhhhh, I'm stuck at 1700 USCF though
