For children who would much rather run than take care of personal tasks, buttons on 2T and 3T pants are one of the most bone-headed things I can think of. Why would you discourage them from bothering to latch their own pants? 
It may be why I don't tend to make Nicholas stay dressed at home.

See, this bothers you because you have other kids to tend to. Me? I would rather them have trouble getting the pants off and on. This means I am always aware of fluids/solids moving in or out of the body and, more importantly, WHERE said activity is occurring. So I don't mind it so much!
I would spend my entire life buttoning and un-buttoning pants because the moment the girls figured out that the boys were getting some portion of attention, they would stand at my feet and scream for their elastic-waist pants to be unbuttoned with real tears and everything.
How about buttons on baby clothes!? Have you ever seen a baby sit patiently for their clothes to be buttoned!? And buttoning a moving target is nearly impossible!
You didn't see buttons at our house when you were there. They were banned from babies. That is nearly more horrible than pre-schoolers running around with their pants down to their knees.
BONE HEADED!!! I haven't heard that in 20yrs...but using it to descibe buttons in children's pants (clothes of all types) is what it was MADE for.
