Speech Question

Many of you know that DS was in Early Intervention for a speech delay.  He caught up by the time he was 3--though he has some articulation issues.

I wondered how your typically developing children were with this.

His issues are:

Drops S's in the beginning of a word (Sneaky = Neaky; Square is Gware)

Substitutes W for L (ie. Wion for Lion) 

Substitutes B for V (ie. Berry for Very) 

Note that I am NOT that worried because I'm told it's common for preschoolers and young school-age children to have these issues. But I was curious if they were present in kids who didn't have speech problems to begin with.
