Should I leave it a while longer?

dd is 2.5 and I thought she might be ready for potty training. I talked through it with her and bought her some 'big girl knickers' which she wanted to wear. However she has wet herself each time she has been without a nappy and seems quite distressed by this. Should I persevere or leave it a while?

Also she will sit on her potty and tell me that she has done a wee when she quite clearly hasn't.

If it's distressing her, I'd back off for a little while and then try again, but make sure she doesn't see going back into nappies as a punishment or a negative thing.
