LINQ to XML Selecting Child Elements

Question

I am trying to extract information from an XML file into an object using LINQ to XML. Although I can return the attributes of the document identifier and the section, I cannot access the elements for each section element, it returns IEnumerable of all elements of the document. I know this is correct, as I call Descendants, but I try my best to return it only to the children of each section element. Can anyone help?

XML document

<root>
<document id="1">
  <section id="1.1">
    <item id="1.1.1"></item>
    <item id="1.1.2"></item>
    <item id="1.1.3"></item>
  </section>
  <section id="1.2">
    <item id="1.2.1"></item>
    <item id="1.2.2"></item>
  </section>
</document>
</root>

LINQ query

XElement documentRoot = XElement.Load("document.xml");
var documents = (from docs in documentRoot.Descendants("document")
                 select new
                    {
                        Id = (string) docs.Attribute("id"),
                        Sections = docs.Elements("section"),
                        Items = docs.Elements("section").Elements("item")
                    }).ToList();

foreach(var doc in documents)
{
    foreach(var section in doc.Sections)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("SectionId: " + section.Attribute("Id"));  
        foreach(var item in doc.Items)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("ItemId: " + section.Attribute("Id"));
        }
    }
}

, Id loop. , , Items Section, Document ( XML ).

- :

var documents =
    (from docs in documentRoot.Descendants("document")
     select new
     {
         Id = (string) docs.Attribute("id"),
         Sections = docs.Elements("section")
     }).ToList();

foreach (var doc in documents)
{
    foreach (var section in doc.Sections)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("SectionId: " + section.Attribute("id"));
        foreach (var item in section.Elements("item"))
        {
            Console.WriteLine("ItemId: " + item.Attribute("id"));
        }
    }
}

:

SectionId: id="1.1"
ItemId: id="1.1.1"
ItemId: id="1.1.2"
ItemId: id="1.1.3"
SectionId: id="1.2"
ItemId: id="1.2.1"
ItemId: id="1.2.2"

?!?! ( LinqPad)

XElement documentRoot  = XElement.Parse (
@"<root> 
<document id='1'> 
  <section id='1.1'> 
    <item id='1.1.1'></item> 
    <item id='1.1.2'></item> 
    <item id='1.1.3'></item> 
  </section> 
  <section id='1.2'> 
    <item id='1.2.1'></item> 
    <item id='1.2.2'></item> 
  </section> 
</document> 
</root> 
");




var documents = (from docs in documentRoot.Descendants("section") 
                 select new 
                    { 
                        SectionId = (string) docs.Attribute("id"), 
                        Items = docs.Elements("item") 
                    }); 
 documents.Dump();

2 SectionId , XElement .
