Saw things clearer once you're in my rearviewmiror

To some extent kids tend to gravitate towards the same sex parent for certain things. As a girl, there are just some things you can't imagine talking to your dad about.

But on the other hand, I remember watching my younger siblings and now my nieces and nephew go through phases of being attached to mom then dad then mom.

What matters more than anything is the time. The quality time. Making the memories. Forging the bond.

Kids are astute. They notice a lot. I'm sure she realizes how much you love her and try to protect her.
