[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's possible the MB is truly just trying to show off her enthusiasm for what the kids are learning and what they can do.  She doesn't spend the weekdays with them, so she's probably excited after the weekend to see what they are learning and how far they've come in development!

Did they have a nanny before?  It's possible she didn't do any of these sorts of things, and it's just not on their radar to realize you're doing these things.

I know it's hard, but it's so good for the kids, and eventually they will see it.  I would just shrug it off as much as possible and instead try to bring these things up casually in conversation as much as possible when she isn't thinking of them.  "Today we worked on new signs!  I think Larlo is really coming along with his sign for "bird" -- Larlo, can you show Mommy?'" or "We went to the library today, and Larla was really interested in books about horses, so we spent the afternoon talking about all the different ways that you can ride a horse [or whatever]."

I'm not sure this would work, but another option might be to try to forego the daily log if it's not something they're interested in and instead do a very short but education-focused weekly log.  A lot of preschools do this, and it might be fun for them to see a weekly wrap-up.  You could even email it to them with a couple of pics from the week if you feel ambitious.  Maybe just note a few of the things you did with the kids and what they're starting to learn.  If they don't know Spanish, you could also write out a few of the new words the kids learned with their translations so the parents can recognize these when they hear them.[/quote]
