Im not too sure what advice to give you , my daughter is 3 also , and she knows the difference between 'private parts' , but doesnt really comment on it nor plays around down there.
She's probably old enough for you to start explaining that her private parts are private and that she should only speak about them when you're not in public. You could also start letting her know about good touch bad touch and when it's ok to show her private parts and when it's not eg in the bath, at the doctors etc.
oh, that reminds me-my niece went through a stage of trying to 'hump' peoples legs...rather embarassing for my sister at the time. she was like a little dog lol.
How funny! Funny from the outside, I could imagine I'd be mortified if I was the parent with her when she's shouting!
The absolute worst moment for me in childcare was when a 3 year old girl started playing with herself during story time. I noticed and as I was VERY new to the job, I just didn't know if it was my place to stop her so I went on reading my book to the children. She was wearing a skirt and had pulled her knickers the to side and was inspecting herself in detail! She then discovered the hole... and... started crying "theres a hole in my bum, theres a hole in my bum" getting more and more distressed about it!
My brilliant attempt to comfort the distressed girl was to say "no theres not, put it away" she got more and more upset until one of the other women who had worked their longer took her aside for a quick chat!
I still have no idea what I'd say in that situation again... it was so awkward!
