Glad to hear that your first night went well. Sorry about the potty problem.
You said Tess is a little puppy, right? You can't expect her to be potty training from the first try. (I have heard that chis have a hard time being potty training) If you want to crate train her, I would leave her in her crate during the day when you are at work. I do not think the bathroom is a good idea. I am sure she will stop crying after she realizes you are not there. Drake used to cry and yelp when Andrew or I left the house. One day, Andrew left and I was still in bed. Drake cried for about 15 minutes and realized we were gone (he thought I was gone too). He just stopped and I heard his big body hit the floor. We both slept for several hours and he didn't even know I was there. All puppies are needy.
Be patient and consistent with Tess. That is the only way to get through this though stage.
