After my three year old son urinated, I noticed a sticky film over the tip of his penis. I've never noticed this before and didn't know whether this is normal.
It is possibly what is commonly referred to as pre-cum.
This gland that secrets it may be forming or finally developing (obviously not to maturity, but to a stage of activity) and has begun to excrete the fluid.
Overall, I would get it checked at the next appointment you have with your toddlers doctor, but aside from that I wouldnt worry about it.
Again, I am no expert, but I have had 4 kids and 2 have had this happen
