It's a cute image and a very popular idea that parents just love! I've seen a lot of these types of photos on other photographers' websites.

Composition-wise, you could get their legs and feet a tad closer. Also, perhaps have one crossing right over left, and the other crossing left over right - though not that big a deal. They're chopped off at the knees and the bottom of the girl's dress is a bit distracting. Like Windrider said, I do like the jeans being rolled up on the other child, though, very cute!

The high ISO did make it a bit noisy, but that can be fixed a bit in PP. It seems to need a little more contrast - I love BW conversions for this type of shot, but this one looks a little muddy.

You're off to a good start, though.

ETA: I just realized I pretty much echoed everything Windrider said, LOL!
