Since she regained limited supervised visitation with her young sons a little over a week ago, Britney Spears has dutifully spent time with them, and could end up being allowed to visit them as often as three times a week. However according to Page Six, both Sean Preston and Jayden James are having a hard time adapting to having her back in their lives, and are suffering some of the traditional emotional ups and downs that one would expect.

Britney Spears’ visits with her kids have been emotional for the whole family. Sean Preston has been sleeping in the same room as father Kevin Federline lately because he’s been having nightmares.

According to insiders, Preston, 2, also cried for his dad at first when Britney picked them up, but Kevin soothed him and he settled down.

“Jamie told Kevin that Britney handled the visit well. She actually did cry, but that was only because Sean cried when she took them from Kevin,” says the insider.

The article goes on to say that the boys are confused by their mom and don’t have that feeling of safety that kids needs. This is the main reason that Jamie Spears or a psychologist is required to be there the whole time. Jamie is said to be very good with the boys and they love their grandpa. He has seen them consistently, often visiting them at K-Feds house when Britney couldn’t. The “source” also says that Britney doesn’t really know how to give her sons what they need, and instead views them in terms of what she enjoys, which is dressing them up and showing them off.

Part of the problem is that Britney treats her sons more like dolls than children. “She dresses them for show and tell,” says the insider. “She likes to show them off, but not give them the nurturing they need. I understand she is working on this part of her motherhood with her psychiatrist.”

Other sources tell us that the kids are said to be playing a “pivotal role in her progress.”
“Brit has expressed interest in becoming closer to the boys. Kevin hopes she is talking from her heart.”

Britney has supposedly made a deal with her parents that as long as she works hard in therapy and with her sons, she won’t have to go back into the hospital. It sounds like it’s good that they’ve made some sort of agreement so Brit knows exactly what she needs to do to avoid negative consequences. It’s really sad that her sons have to be a part of her “treatment,” and getting her life back together. Obviously it’s probably best for them to have their mother in their lives in the long run, but it sounds like in the short run it’s pretty emotionally trying for them. Let’s hope Britney is not actually pregnant again – despite the rumors and every growing stomach – and that she can just focus on getting her life back together.

In other Britney/Jamie Spears news, today it was reported that Jamie is now allowed to draw $2500 from Britney’s accounts for acting as her conservator. That’s $10,000 a month. He definitely deserves to be paid for all his hard work, but the downside is that now people can question his motivations, whereas before that wasn’t as easy.

Courteney Cox and David Arquette’s daughter, Coco, is three and a half and supposedly loves shocking her family by saying naughty words. Star Magazine reports that the tot enjoys riling up her family by saying forbidden swear words. They claim that Courtney says that she can’t get her to stop and is hoping she’ll grow out of it:

“Coco’s somehow learned to cuss like a sailor,” a source told Star. Courteney told the source that scolding Coco hasn’t helped. “Coco thinks it’s funny and goes right on swearing. Courteney’s just hoping she’ll outgrow it. She doesn’t want her saying these things to teachers or other kids!”

It’s Star so who knows if this is true, but she wouldn’t be the first three year-old to swear in order to get a rise out of her parents. They don’t know what the words mean and just like to get a reaction. My son loves singing “I like big butts and I cannot lie.” He doesn’t know the words beyond the first sentence, but he heard the famous ode to large butts in the movie Shark Tale and will just belt out the song during dull moments. We laugh our asses off, so that could explain why he does it.

Here are videos of little kids swearing, not always intentionally.

Little girl says she’s going to kick a monster’s ass:

Little boy mispronounces “truck”

This one is pretty bad, the girl yells “mother f’er” repeatedly. I couldn’t help but laugh, but I did feel slightly guilty about it. The mother explains in the comments that the girl heard her say it when she dropped a can on her foot and that her kid does not say this all the time:

Oh please, save your sanctimoneous [sic] drivel for someone whose child actually repeats naughty words in front of people that matter. Although it’s NOYB, she hasn’t repeated it since.

Now, where are all your chastisments for the myriad other mummies and daddies who have videos similar to mine? Thanks, have a nice day!

Farrell with his mom, Rita, at the Oscars
This week’s In Touch has a new interview with Colin Farrell in which he talks candidly about being a father and how he proud he is of his son, James, 4 1/2. James has a genetic condition called Angelman Syndrome, which is considered to be rare and is often misdiagnosed as cerebral palsy or autism. People with Angelman Syndrome suffer from developmental and physical delays, speech problems and an inability to speak, and often have epilepsy. They are affectionate, enjoy human contact and are said to be able to communicate nonverbally in ways that exceed their speech, which can be limited to about 5 to 10 words.

Farrell told In Touch that he would rather “be home with my boy than out on the town,” and that he’s “just a blessed father to have this boy in my life.” James’ mom is Farrel’s ex girlfriend, model Kim Bordenave:

Has being a dad changed you?
Being a father kind of pushes you to an extreme of gentility and strength at the same time that you never thought could possibly reside in you. But I’m fairly sensitive, anyway!

What’s James like?
He’s an amazing child and the way he’s meant to be. I’m just a blessed father to have this boy in my life.

How is he doing these days?
Now, he’s great. When he took his first steps last year, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.

Thats must have been a happy moment.
He’s a happy boy and if you can honestly say that your child is happy, then you’re a very, very fortunate man.

What does he look like?
Many people think he looks like me. Lucky little man!

Where is home these days?
Wherever I find myself. Dublin will always be home. But I definitely do live in LA, too, for work and my boy.

You haven’t been seen out much lately.
Quite honestly, I’d rather be home with my boy than out on the town.

When you came to Hollywood, you were anointed the newest It Boy – what was that like?
All of the attention confused me from the get-go. At the same time, I found it enlightening to see how you could go from being no one to someone in just a short time.

Did you enjoy the attention?
Oh, I’ve enjoyed being famous! But I don’t think I would have had the patience to be in this business for even a month if I was chasing something as elusive as fame.

Farrell first revealed his son’s diagnosis last October, when he expressed many similar sentiments, saying that his son has shown “amazing courage” and is an “incredibly happy boy.” He said James enriches his life and that he is dedicated to help him reach his potential in life. He also said that the only time he remembers that there’s something wrong with him is when he sees him around other children his age.

People with Angelman Syndrome have an average life span, and it sounds like James has a loving father with the resources to make sure that he’s well cared for and comfortable for the rest of his life.

At Sunday’s Oscar ceremony, Farrell introduced the performance by Irish musicians Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, who later won best song for “Falling Slowly” from Once. Farrel brought his mom, Rita Farrell, as his date. When I first saw these pictures I thought he was dating a cougar because his mom is hot!

Farrell currently stars as a likable hitman in In Bruges, which is getting good reviews and is out in theaters in limited release.

An older image of Britney and her boys
After more than a month of no contact, Britney Spears was allowed to spend a few hours with little Sean Preston and Jayden James on Saturday. After much back-and-forth between the lawyers for Spears and K-Fed, a deal was worked out in which the boys could see their mother in her home under the supervision of her psychiatrist and her father/conservator, Jamie Spears.

Britney Spears was reunited with her sons for three hours on Saturday.

After lawyers for Spears and Kevin Federline reached a visitation agreement Friday, the pop star saw her children Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1, for the first time since Jan. 3.

The boys left Federline’s Tarzana house Saturday morning – put in their car seats by their father, according to photographers – and were driven by Federline’s bodyguard to Spears’s Studio City home.

A source involved in the case says, “The real hero was [Spears’s father] Jamie. He has taken charge, and she has visitation again.”

Sources confirm to PEOPLE that Jamie and Britney’s psychiatrist were present for the visit.

After a three-hour stay, Spears’s sons left again in the back of Federline’s grey Dodge truck driven by his bodyguard.

This just further proves how good it is for Britney to have her father back in her life. Less then three weeks after Papa Spears took over, Britney has access to her children. I doubt this agreement would have happened if Sam Lutfi was still controlling her life. Many sources close to Spears are now saying that it was Sam who encouraged Britney to blow off numerous court appearances, and interfered with her home phone and cell phones when she was supposed to be contacted about taking random drug tests. It was these behaviors that contributed to her losing the kids in the first place.

It was probably a lot easier for the boys to be re-introduced to their mother, after such a long absence, with their grandfather in the room. Both Jamie and Lynne Spears spend a lot of time with the boys at K-Fed’s home, most recently taking care of them while K-Fed attended Fashion Week.

I’m going to keep my opinion on whether Britney really should be allowed to see the kids just yet to myself. For now, this could be a good thing for all concerned, but this is Britney we’re talking about.
