Part of the post was a video recorded as Jayden attempted to capture the moment, with his mom being heard saying 'I’m composure, I’m being very composed' while struggling to stay still for the picture.

An insider shared: "Britney has been very open and honest in her AA meetings, she has said she loves pouring her heart out as she knows that is the best way to heal and feel better."
They continued: "The only thing she has indulged in is fancy coffee drinks. She is being super careful because she wants to be there for her kids."
Spears' court date for her arrest for driving while intoxicated is scheduled for May 4. Her Instagram has been taken private again in the 24 hours since her post.
