get collection of child nodes in watir-webdriver

I am trying to find out how to collect just the li child nodes inside a ul element. I can't seem to figure out how to limit watir to just the direct li child nodes, and not the ones further down in the document.

b = Watir::Browser.start "http://example.com"
section_list = b.ul(:id => 'section_list')
section_list.lis #=> this returns *all* the li elements until section_list

Is there an option to watir that says only do the first level?

This is what I came up with:

Then(/^the element with id of "(.*?)" should have (\d+) children$/) do |id, n|
  el = @browser.element(:id => id)
  el.elements(:xpath, "./*").count.should eql(n.to_i)
end
