Mother's Day at the Spears House

The fold returned to Britney Spears—for a little while, at least.

On Monday, the beleaguered pop star had her first visit with sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, since turning custody over to ex-husband Kevin Federline, sources confirmed to E! Online.

A nanny who has also been spotted at K-Fed's house accompanied the boys to their mom's Malibu manse and stayed the afternoon, per the court's order. It's unclear whether the fourth wheel was a parenting coach or other preapproved supervisor.

A family court commissioner ruled that Spears could have monitored visits with her children every other day—again, so long as she complies with a number of court orders, including a previous directive to undergo drug testing twice a week.

At times like these, one might think that the sort of TLC only a mother can give would be in order. Spears apparently felt the same way.

The "Gimme More" chanteuse's reunion with her little ones comes right after her first meeting with mom Lynne Spears since June. At the time, the 25-year-old entertainer told her mom to back off, as Lynne publicly expressed her concern over Britney's seemingly reckless behavior.

Sources told E! Online the mother-daughter reunion was originally scheduled to take place in Kentwood, Louisiana, this weekend but that Spears didn't feel comfortable traveling while the court is "watching like a hawk." Someone from the court was going to be "all over" her and the kids this week, she said.

Instead, mom and younger sister Jamie Lynn flew in to Los Angeles Friday evening, briefly stopping at Spears' Beverly Hills pad at around 3 a.m., before heading out to her Malibu digs.

A source said Britney is, in fact, being kept on a very short leash for now and that if she behaves until her next court hearing, on Oct. 26, the commissioner's supervised visitation order could be relaxed.

The court-ordered monitor also has the authority to "terminate visitation immediately if any conduct or action by [Spears] endangers the minor children."

Meanwhile, Blackout, Spears' first studio album in four years, is on target for a Nov. 13 debut. "Gimme More" topped the digital song charts last week, and its video had its broadcast premiere Monday on MTV's TRL.
