My daughter remembered the names of all her daycare friends not long after turning one. They always took their shoes off, and she would tell the adults whose shoe it was immediately. At 2 she would say things like “I fell I got booboo” referring to having fallen at Daycare during playtime. Its really funny because she can recollect some things but others like what you just told her are completely alien. I wonder if it has to do moreso with physical events being easier for her to describe vs trying to summarize my grown up words so she can relay them back. As she gets older repeating more complex sentences and fully understanding them will be easier for her to store.
I wonder if this is why smell helps to reactivate memories, your ability to recollect smells is probably the more consistent way to retain memories.
