Iges Pamper their Feet

An early picture of Oliver's foot in his Papa's hands (2001). He was not a breech birth.

That last entry might seem kind of odd and mundane--a whole entry about shoes?

I know the kind of tired worn-out shoes my Gramma wears. I know she has aches and pains, and I'm wondering if she just had a good pair of shoes if some of her troubles would evaporate?

In Yoruba-land (Nigeria, West Africa), kids are named by the circumstances surrounding their births. For example, a child who was a breech birth gets the name of Ige. These children come feet-first into the world, and they tend to pamper their feet. A good pair of shoes DOES make a big difference!
