More details needed, mostly common due to anal injury these are superficial on stools, if mixed with stool a bit dark red occur due to infection, black means upper intestine problems. In your case nothing to worry as you told light blood stains.

Light blood stains is not confirmatory of anything. It could be a tinge of some partially digested food article too. If otherwise child is fine, having no fever, is able to eat , and is active nothing to worry. Two times loose motions can happen in viral infections too. You can wait. It will settle
Next Steps
Keep a watch on danger signs
1. Consult pediatrician if there is blood mixed with stools or fresh blood
2. Child is running high grade fever
3. child is lethargic , has decreased urine , is unable to feed anything
4.
