Mary,
I like them both as seperate portraits. You wouldn't have to paint them with the wide variations of light temperature.
For the first example, I have rotated the image 10 degrees. She appears to be leaning against a railing that you would not include in the portrait, so, her leaning would not be explained.
You have chosen to concentrate (young children) on the most difficult work that any of us encounter. Your approach: come early, stay late, and shoot many, is about all you can do. This is assuming you can herd them into a good light. It's like herding cats.
