It is more subtle, but it looks like both of the other two children are crossing fingers as well. The boy in the middle seems to possibly be crossing his middle and ring fingers on his left hand and the girl is definitely crossing the same two fingers on her right hand. And Kate's blurry hand on the kid's waist makes little sense when nothing around it is motion blurred, unless, I guess, maybe she was yanking it away at the moment the photo was taken? But it seems like if that was the case the wrinkle/ fold in his shirt right in front of her hand would be moving too and not be as crisp as it is.
The common denominator is the ring finger, and she's not wearing her ring.
If I may put on mg tinfoil hat for a moment, those kids are obviously trying to tell everyone the person in the photo is not their mother, and is in fact a cloud person from Alpha Centauri.
The only true giveaway is the girl's left sleeve (our right) which has some erased parts (where it meets the hand). Everything else might be weird but no way to confirm, however that sleeve is 100% edited no doubt.
