- "put it onto the mat" : where Luca is allowed to play with his messier toys

- "No cold one" or "Too big" which means he doesn't like the bite of food we've given him.
- "Its hot"...makes blowing sound
- "More orange balls", "More chicken crunchies", "more touch the orange circle and the blue circle, and the green circle" (based on his obsession with Blue C Sushi. He also sings a song in happiness when we pull up to Blue C: "We're going to eat sushi, we're going to eat sushi, we feel so happy! We just want to sing!"
