In the caption, she began, “He’s pushing Jayden when I started to use my own feet, not guided by anyone. For some reason, as a baby he always did that, I thought it was cute.”

She then directed a message toward Jamie, writing, “GUIDE ME AND LEAD ME WITH YOUR FEET FOR YOUR NAMESAKE.”

Britney went on to reflect on the restrictions she said she experienced.

“For 15 years I was never allowed to say my name in the land of the free and travel spontaneously. Not one time... Every place I traveled was for work for my dad and mother…” she added.

Britney Spears celebrated sons Jayden James and Sean Preston Federline with separate birthday tributes.

The pop star also opened up about her experiences traveling to North America. While she said her friends had told her Mexico “isn’t that great,” she described her own experiences there as something that brought her to “cloud 9.”

“I could feel my inner child 100 percent awaken and never felt so alive. My d--- life… it’s crazy these are just words, but if people honestly knew the difference in my spiritual connection when I flew out of the country, they would nod and understand.. But you all know me; I’ve forgiven and been the bigger person always, RIGHT,” she shared.
