And some further thoughts -- attachment is ongoing, it is not an event which once completed is over. With any child you should make a continual, conscious effort at maintaining your bond.
Another thing is, attachment should be seen as a spectrum -- not as yes/no or black/white. Sometimes symptoms of difficulty are mild and simply resolve with time and conscious effort. Be conscious of "possible" behaviors related to attachment, but at the same time, do not read too much into what are normal behaviors for a child of the age group in question!
