DS4 has always had very good speech and enunciation.
We recently got new neighbors who have a 5 yr old son and the kids play together a lot.
DS has been picking up his friend's speech impediment. When I correct him, he says "This is how I say baf" (instead of bath, or whatever it is) DS has been saying the words properly for years already.

Is there anything I can do?

I'm not a speech therapist - but I'm guessing that he's not going to loose the abilities he's had - and will be able to go back to 'proper' pronunciation 'at will', and probably do so on his own.
