Yeah, for indoor kid shots then the Zeiss is going to produce much better than the Sigma 30. What you describe is similar to many of the shots I take and why I preferred the Zeiss 24.

For "indoor kid shots," I would posit that the SEL50F18 is actually better than the Zeiss Unless you want to take wide shots indoors, with full focus on the corners.

It's not that easy. I have both lenses and I love the SEL50, but it's not a kid lens indoors unless you're wanting close ups. For example, it excels in this kind of shot:

But I had no room to back up on this shot the other day with the Zeiss 24 and the SEL 50 would have probably had to settle for losing the pirate bandana and settled on just the face (very close) - and perhaps the kid was too close for the SEL 50 to focus at all:
