One of the most influential pop culture icons of all time is Fred Rogers. His TV show, although for children, implored all of us to treat each other with kindness and compassion. Rogers, who was often sporting a cardigan on his show, died in 2003 at the age of 74, but his legacy lives on. In honor of his memory, WQED — the PBS station that originally produced “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” and where it was filmed — asked people to wear cardigans<\/a> on World Kindness Day. One hospital took that request to heart.<\/p>\n

While for Mister Rogers it was a beautiful day in the neighborhood, at the Allegheny Health Network, it was an adorable day! Newborns were dressed lovingly by staff in red cardigans to celebrate, complete with ties. “These [babies] may be new to this neighborhood but they\u2019re already honoring everyone\u2019s favorite neighbor on #CardiganDay,” they wrote on Facebook<\/a>. Accompanying the post was a series of cute pictures, sure to make anyone’s day.<\/p>\n
