Brief answer :
Seems normal
Detailed answer :
Hi, welcome to HCM.
A tiny drop of pinkish fluid in a 3 year old at the time of stool could be due to the type of food he has eaten. Since, there is no fever, pain abdomen, or other complaints it seems unlikely to be infective in nature.
I think you need not to worry about this.
To be more sure, you can do stool routine microscopy test.
I hope this will help you. Take care.
