Answer 1

This is normal, she is just missing her dad, don't worry she still loves you. Toddlers seem to think of their mother as an extension of themselves and so while she knows daddy goes away sometimes, she probably does not even realise that you could also do this. I am sure when'/if you were the one to leave the reaction would be similar.

Answer 2

Well it beats my daughter who smacks me in the face when i take her away from daddy. lol...my son did it and my daughter is currently doing it. I am home with the kids all day and they only see him for a few hours before bed.  They just want attention from him.  LOL...don't worry though...revenge comes later when they are crying and your husband looks at you like "She won't stop crying what's wrong with her?" lol...then you can just take her into her room and let her look out the window and bring her back to him tear free. lol.
