What do you do on Shabbes if you have puddles on the floor? We can't mop them away, right?
My mum is not frum and she does not believe that frum people have those ungraceful puddles on Shabbes, too.

For an Israeli stone floor - pour on a little liquid cleaner if necessary (check with your rav about this), pour on a cup of water, and drag with a plastic/rubber sponja stick to your drain, or soak up with something you will throw away, being careful not to squeeze it (eg paper towels).
For a carpet - soak up with paper towels/ tissues etc.

I mop up the same way all week. Throw a little water over it (if necessary) and toss a floor rag on top to sop it up. Leave it until after Shabbat and throw in with the rest of the rags to be washed.

No, I throw them away.
As others said, you can use a rag too, if it's meant for the floor/ to become dirty by placing it on the puddle and leaving it to soak it up itself - just be careful not to squeeze it.

Yup, absorb with a rag and leave with the pile of washing to be done after Shabbot.

I have special "junky" towels for this purpose. I use them to soak it up, then keep it in the bathtub until after Shabbos, when I throw it into the wash.

So you are allowed to use things to clean up a spill as long as they won't come to the point of saturation where squeezing becomes a problem. A big shmatta is better for that than paper towels unless you use a ton, then you just need to be super careful when you pick them up.
I also bought some special training pants that are much thicker fabric and that paired with plastic knickers tends to reduce the mess on the floor. Oh the joys of pottying!
PS - at some point the kid will learn to run faster and sooner to the potty so the mess, if there is one, is less than the enormous lake at the beginning. It does get better! promise!
