The bond between a mother and her children is incredibly strong – how else will the kids learn how to forget to put knickers on and have distressing roadside breakdowns in front of the world's media?

That's why it's so important that Britney Spears gets to see her two children. And that's what she's done – after seeing the kids for the first time in two months on Saturday, Britney Spears got to spend time with the children again yesterday.

That's wonderful news – not only will time with her children speed Britney Spears' recovery, but everyone knows that there's no happier time than when two innocent children get to spend quality time with their mentally unwell mother, her father, a court-appointed monitor, a psychologist, a lawyer and one of their father's bodyguards. It'll make quite the Christmas card come December.

Although we've had our differences in the past, we're honestly thrilled to see that Jamie Spears' ongoing conservatorship has forced Britney Spears into slowly getting well enough to become the old Britney Spears, the Britney who puked on boys, exposed her ladyparts at every opportunity and smeared dogshit on designer dresses while absent-mindedly pawing at her crotch but fell short of full-blown mental illness.

And a big part of that recovery involves Britney Spears getting to see her kids. Ever since Britney lost custody of her kids in October – and especially since she lost all visitations rights in January when she was carted off to the brain hospital – Britney Spears lost her one remaining responsibility. Unless you count weeping uncontrollably as a responsibility, which frankly we don't. 

And although Britney Spears tried replacing her children with a variety of substitutes, like creepy married British photographers and a terrified-looking puppy, it was obviously only going to take a visit from her children to bring Britney Spears back down to Earth. And, as we reported yesterday, that happened this weekend when Britney got to see her kids for the first time in seven weeks.

The visit must have gone well, because yesterday Britney Spears got to see her kids again. E! Online reports:

After not seeing her boys for almost two months, Britney Spears has scored her second face-to-face visit in the past three days. The embattled pop star received another in-home visit from one-year-old Jayden James and two-year-old Sean Preston on Monday, E! News has confirmed. The kids were again shuttled to Spears' home in Kevin Federline's gray Dodge Viper truck, driven by Federline's longtime security guard, at around 9 a.m. They departed shortly after noon.

Unless Britney Spears does something awful, like chew through her leash and make a lunge at Sean Preston, it seems to us that these visits will become a regular occurrence. And that's bound to be helpful for Britney Spears' progress – surrounded by family and out the way of the media, all the ingredients to make sure that Britney gets well safely and quickly are in place.

And this situation has to suit Sean Preston and Jayden James, too – after all, the more time they spend around their mother, the more of the Spears trademark charm is going to rub off on them. And, seriously, who wouldn't want that?

More Mommy Time for Britney - E! Online 

Quite often at family weddings, a slightly dotty old lady will come up to you and marvel at how much you've grown even though you haven't got the foggiest who she is.

This weekend, that situation happened to Sean Preston Federline and Jayden James Federline. Except the dotty old lady in question was Britney Spears. Their mother Britney Spears.

That's right – after almost two months of rejection, Britney Spears finally got to see her kids again on Saturday in an emotional reunion. Emotional for a couple of reasons, of course – Britney Spears was brutally reminded how much she'd lost by behaving so oddly over this last year or so and the kids were just a bit freaked out that there was also a jumpy-looking psychiatrist in the room who flinched every time Britney made a sudden movement.

This last couple of months have been hellish for every single member of the Spears family. Britney Spears has gone through the pain of being forcibly sectioned, Jamie Spears has felt the pressure of controlling all of Britney's affairs and Kevin Federline has felt the acute embarrassment of being intellectually outclassed by two infants on an hourly basis. A little light was needed to cut through all the grimness – and on Saturday, that's exactly what happened.

Britney Spears has been kept away from her children since her breakdown on January 4 when she locked herself topless in a bathroom with one of them and wound up getting her brain looked at. But, at long last, on Saturday Britney Spears was tentatively allowed to spend some time with her children at long last. MTV reports:

After the lawyers representing Spears and her ex-husband Kevin Federline reached an agreement on visitation rights Friday, the singer saw her sons Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1, for the first time since January 3, the night she was hospitalised after refusing to turn the boys over to Federline. She was hospitalized again at the end of the month. On Saturday morning, Federline put the boys into his truck and they were driven by his bodyguard to Spears' home. Sources told People that Jamie and Britney's psychiatrist were also present during the visit; another source said, "The real hero was Jamie. He has taken charge, and she has visitation again."

It's unclear whether this visit was just a one-off event or whether it'll become a regular event. Since both children left Britney Spears' house in one piece, that's probably a good indication that they'll be allowed to see her again. And maybe they'll even let Britney out of her reinforced perspex cage next time, too.

But it certainly seems fair on everyone that Britney Spears should get to see her children again. After all, if Britney is allowed to look after kids belonging to other people then it's only fair that she should get some time with her own. And the children themselves will benefit from seeing Britney Spears, because it's important that mothers and children spend a lot of quality time together, even if the mother is mentally ill to the extent that she can't feed herself any more.

And perhaps this situation is best of Kevin Federline. Now, when Sean Preston and Jayden James are with Britney Spears, he can research the answers to some of the trickier questions they've been asking him under his care, like 'what colour is the sun?' and 'which is bigger, an ant or a cow?'
