I did try to clone out the porch lights using the clone brush, but because of where they are in the frame I found it very difficult to effectively remove them. I haven't tried any other technique to remove them from the image. I am not sure if they can be taken out completely, but if anyone wants to try it with the image, please do so and post the result.

Yes, that is exactly what I was trying to achieve, but as I mentioned in the original post I neither have a tripod nor have an off-camera flash so I couldn't capture the boy either at the beginning or at the end of the exposure. Also, because I don't have a tripod, I had to place the camera on a wall opposite so distance was a factor too.
