I'm not following your question - your applying for citizenship has nothing to do with renewing your son's green card - they are independent of each other.

You should file your son's renewal of Green Card and if you are eligible for citizenship, you should apply for N400 (citizenship). If you become citizen before your son turns 18 years old, he will become citizen automatically and apply for U.S Passport

Your son needs to apply to renew his green card this month. You should apply for naturalization at the earliest eligibility (4 years and 9 months from the date you became a permanent resident) and if you become a US citizen before his 18th birthday he may automatically become a US citizen at that time. You should speak to a qualified immigration lawyer if you have questions about this.
