I'm thinking of adding a second character (just a walkcycle along the sidewalk perhaps) and my kid either flattening against the wall or trying to look inconspicuous - cheezy - like in a cartoon, as they walk by. My current teacher was confused by his entrance at first, and suggested making it more obvious he's trying to be sneaky - although I was shooting for an obvious, conspicuous type of sneak - I now wonder if anyone else is unsatisfied with it. x_x
Any and every idea is welcome - this week is all about story boarding it out and building a decent set (below)

I think the sneak reads at first, but it gets confused the moment you add that one large step in. I think I understand your intent behind it, (I'm having trouble putting it in words) but it's not reading as you might like it to. I might consider keeping his stride entirely to a blatant sneak, and if you were looking for a change in timing, maybe add three quick, tiny super sneak steps to get him up to a machine instead of one, large, false-full-step.
I think the animation is flowing well, and the gag at the end is cute. I would suggest having him look around a bit before picking up the gumball machine, as an anticipation for the audience that he's about to do something he doesn't want anyone to see.
I agree with Lana about that large step, but I think you can combine that with your new idea about him flattening against the wall. You could make the kid sneaking in like what you have here, but let the second character enter the scene in the middle of that large step, then the kid changes his pose real fast, either flattening against the wall or trying to look inconspicuous like what you said.
