Pope Francis was visibly amused when the child stayed on the stage instead of returning to his seat on the steps.

He refused to leave the pope’s side, even at the encouragement of several cardinals.

In fact, he seated the boy on his chair before resuming his speech.

Francis Leaves Popemobile to Bless Disabled Man
Before his inaugural Mass this morning, Pope Francis descended the popemobile to bless a disabled man in St. Peter’s Square.
He’s preaching the Gospel of Life without saying a word. I love this man.
He also has to be giving his security team some mild heart attacks. I like what Elizabeth Scalia had to say this morning on Twitter in response to concerns over his safety: “#PopeFrancis seems determined to teach that you go forward in faith, not fear, on God’s timetable. Good lesson.”
An excellent lesson, but still, “Let us pray for our Sovereign Pontiff Francis. The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon earth, and deliver him not to the will of his enemies.” (Prayer for the Pope, Handbook of Prayers)
Be Holy!
