A few lucky newborn babies in Pittsburgh might not be aware that being dressed as Mister Rogers [1] is a heart-melting sight, but they're bringing all of us joy at just a day or two old. The staff at West Penn Hospital dressed a group of newborns [2] in ties, bow ties, and red cardigans in honor of Cardigan Day and World Kindness Day on Nov. 13 — two things that describe the late beloved icon [3] perfectly. The photos are beyond precious, and seeing teeny-tiny humans dressed in button-up sweaters and pants is just too much.
West Penn is the same hospital that previously dressed newborns in Wizard of Oz costumes [4] in honor of the movie's 80th anniversary in August, so clearly they have creativity down pat. Nonprofit organization Allegheny Health Network [5] shared the sweet Mister Rogers photos on Facebook and wrote, "It's a beautiful day in the AHN neighborhood! These #AHNBabies may be new to this neighborhood but they're already honoring everyone's favorite neighbor on #CardiganDay." See more of these day-brightening photos ahead!
