  That’s NOT possible here at WordPress.com
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#additional-info

  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on free hosted WordPress.com blogs.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  See here for a full comparison WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
  http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins and or any third party themes.
  If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.

  NOTE: WordPress.com and WordPress.org have different log-ins and run different versions of themes with same names. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

  Thank you for answering my question. I completely understand. I’m jumping the gun to soon anyways. It’s only been our first week blogging and I’m just way to excited for stats.

  Thanks again

  Best wishes with your blog and whatever you do focus on content creation and frequent publication of posts (not pages) with unique content that cannot be found elsewhere on the internet. Staring at stats is non productive and addictive.
