Dd and her "bits"!

My dd (2.10) has recently discovered that she has lady bits! She loves to fiddle around and look at it which I have absolutely no issue with and know its normal development. However just recently she asked if I wanted to have a look at it and another time if I wanted to feel it. I k ow she means no harm by this bit I have no idea how to respond or wether to have a chat with her- and if I do what to say. I absolutely don't want her to think there is anything wrong with it or fiddling or that she can't talk to me about these things but I don't want her asking anyone to look/feel her bits. Is she too young for a talk? Should I just leave her to it? Thanks

Perfectly normal but I would go with distraction at this age when she does it and then have a talk about doing it in private and only she is allowed to touch herself when she's a bit older.

Me and DD look at her bits and she says 'hello bits' quite frequently when she is nude. She does it in front of whoever is in the bathroom with her (DH, grannies), but so far has never mentioned them in front of other people she doesn't know very well. I would be tempted to jsut leave her to it at the moment.
