These little mishaps can happen growing up, where a child feels left out, but they bounce right back. :) Especially with such kind parents like TT has- he knows in his heart he is loved and it was just a momentary blip. It's when parents don't care to talk to the child or explain what happened at all, that becomes an issue. You are a truly great dad, so don't worry at all :)
Awww…… that’s very hard, very sad. Yet I believe it’s such a valuable lesson for him to learn that the people he loves are not perfect, that they can make mistakes but apologize, learn from them and make things better. I also think it’s great that he can communicate how he feels and what he needs. And how he knows that whatever happens, your love and concern for him will remain a constant in his life.

@OlderSometimesWiser we where all there at the park. I just don't know how we didn't notice that he couldn't get on the swing. But your right. He forgave us and I told him to never feel like he's not as important than his brother and sister. And now we are all going to make sure he feels just a special and important as them.
Side note I can't believe he said damn lol. He never says the bad grown up words....

Oh my gosh...TT's little feelings got hurt. He was longing for attention, and it was all given to the other children today.
BUT you are NOT a horrible father. You are a WONDERFUL father, who tries desperately desperately hard to be everything that your children need.
You ALSO just got done with a major medical procedure, and you have BARELY recovered. I think you can cut yourself a LITTLE slack...because TT is too young to realize that you are trying extra super hard for your children with disabilities..and HE is a normal, tiny little boy.
I am glad you had a talk with him.

@4meAndyou thank you for your kind words. It just really hit me hard. The talk helped and we talked more at bed him. He bounced back very quickly. We had fun at McDonald's but those tubes are built for grownups lol
And for him to say damn. It would have been funny if he wasn't so upset.
We're just going to have to make sure this doesn't happen again.
