Telling time

Dan surprised me with yet another development today.
Dan: "Kioni told time today."
Amy: "She can't tell time, what do you mean?"
Dan: "We played the 'o'clock' game for a while, then she started to tell time on the clocks around the house."
Amy: "Show me."
Dan (picking up Kioni so that she can see the digital clock on the stove): "What time is it now?"
Kioni: "Five o'clock."
She was kind of right, it was 5:15pm, she couldn't tell the rest yet, but she got the first part right. I was so surprised at what her little brain can do at this age!
Then when I put Kioni to bed, I asked her to look at the clock and tell me what time it was, she said. "Seven o'clock, it was 7:06.
