Which Body Part Should I Ruin?

Dorothy has been insisting for over a week to walk. A lot. She needs to grab onto an adult's hands (preferably an adult who is behind her so that she can forwards forever) to get lots of support, but once she's got that, she can do a silly & awkward goose-step all over the place.

Besides the daycare ladies, I seem to be the one most often escorting her around. But this gives me a choice: Do I stand on my feet, thereby bending over and getting a sore back, or do I kneel, thereby saving my back but hurting my knees?

I suspect that the question is moot. I'll probably wind up ruining both my back and knees with various child play activities over the next few years.
