So over the last 2-3 weeks my little girl has been telling me to take off her nappy when she's done a wee or a poo. So yesterday as it was really hot and she was playing in the garden, I decided to take off her nappy and give her some nappy free time. I also put the potty outside and wanted to see if she would sit on it as she knows this and does it with clothes on sometimes (not when she's actually weeing) I got a bit busy setting up her water play and she ended up weeing in her underwear but then was annoyed they were wet and told me to take them off. So after that I kept asking her if she needed to go but she didn't. An hour later, I put her nappy back on and when she did a wee, she came straight to me and told me to take the nappy off. This morning, she woke up and obviously her nappy was full from last night so I changed her and put on a new one, again with in 5mins she did a wee and was pulling at her nappy. I'm not sure if this is a sign to start training her. She doesn't talk in full sentences and I work part time so I won't be able to give her consistent training for more than 4 days. Any advice?

Both my husband and I work full time and we potty trained our little boy over one weekend (2 days). The following 5 days he had no more than 1 accident a day in nursery or at home and then the accidents stopped. So definitely possible to potty train in 4.
It sounds like she is aware of the after having a wee sensation, but not the just before a wee sensation. Rather than expecting her to just sit on the potty all by herself, when you know that she might/ will need potty, encourage her to sit on the potty, like first thing in the morning.
Once she recognises that sensation jist before a wee and doing a wee on the potty, it will just click. But it does require a lot on encouragement from your part, rather than just putting the potty in her sight.
Thank you, I shall try it tomorrow and wow that's brilliant. I'm really hoping, if she is ready then she doesn't take too long 🤞

This is the first thing you can actually teach your LO as everything before is natural development. They don’t have to show signs of being ready just able to learn.
