I do suggest that you start over again. As what you have said you don't
want
to waste money for that. So why not clean the lawn all by
yourself, get off all
the moss and clovers that are on the lawn. And
after doing that plant the lawn
with Bermuda grass so that it will look
grassy and neat.
Keep your lawn as clean and dry as possible so that your child could
enjoy more
in it.

I hate to agree with the above comment previously made, but I do think
you need
to start over too. And depending on what region you live, the
shade, etc...will
depend on what type of grass you use.
Good luck!
