I also have memories from ~3 (possibly younger, I have some toilet-training memories). Framing when the memories are from is helped by the fact we moved when I was ~4 years old.
It probably helps that a lot of these older memories are associated (in my mind) with the previous house, so when I remember a couple of memories from that house, it causes me to start thinking about other memories associated with that house. Just accessing these memories makes them more likely to stick around (but also increases the chance of distortion, as we rewrite the memories that we access).
