I think it is going to be real close.
Your car probably is worth 4000-4500ish (just a guess without knowing options/mileage). In Florida 80% damage totals it.
Decent paint job alone you are probably looking at $1k+ for front and rear bumpers, hood and trunk. Hood and trunk parts probably $750-1k ish. That doesn't leave much for labor.
And, I hear you on the three year old . . . I got the rear of mine completely smashed with him in the back seat. No injuries whatsover and I got hit by a truck. They wanted to total at the time but instead got them to do a new rear clip.

I still don't get why they totaled yours bro. It would have been a 2500-3000 fix

I had an accident with somewhat similar damage. Mine was only in the front but looked to have more damage than your front end. Damages totaled a little over $4,800. They totaled the car. I took the money minus $940 for keeping the car. Took it to a smaller shop. Got some parts myself & the shop got a used hood from the junkyard. They were able to straighten the radiator support (the bent part in your picture), as well as other parts. I ended up paying about $1,800 total to fix it. The guy did a good job. Everything lined up, & the paint looks nice. My front bumper had not looked that nice in a few years.

it may be totalled. I had my car hit from the rear. Damage wasn't too obvious(just looked like it took a chunk of the bumper and misalligned the trunk), but repairs totalled $4200. It may go higher on yours

yup, that is a totalled car. mine just had minor rear end damage (bumper support, and bumper skin damage) and cost 4200 to fix(with putting on frame machine, original parts, tails, bumper assembly, etc)
